Due to wildfire concerns, PG&E had implemented public safety power shutdowns (PSPS) which resulted in multi day power outages where our backup generators had to run continuously to operate treatment plants and pump sewage uphill. Many of our generators were decades old and becoming unreliable in an environment where they had to work immediately, and reliably in order to meet regulatory compliance and operational needs. The state office of the emergency services issued a grant funding source for public agencies to implement reliable backup power supply and we took advantage of this funding to replace 8 generators in our system.
