Generator Project

TOWN GENERATOR PROJECT

The Community Center in Cleghorn is designated as a shelter in Eau Claire County in the event that a widespread disaster displaces residents.  At the time the Community Center was constructed in 2015, key electrical components were installed to accommodate a future generator.  At this time, the Town is working with the Lions Club and the Pleasant Valley Firefighters to acquire the necessary funds to add a generator to serve the building. With the addition of a generator, the Community Center will have access to running water, a functioning septic system, a fully equipped kitchen, heat, and air conditioning during power outages.  The fire department will continue to be able to fill trucks as needed, as well as operate the garage doors, should they need to exit for an emergency.

The generator, installation, concrete pad, and LP line extension costs are all part of the estimated $150,000 to $ 175,000.  The Town has two 1,000-gallon LP tanks, which are always full, and would serve as the fuel source supplied to the generator.

If you or any business would like to donate to this project, don't hesitate to get in touch with Jen Meyer, Clerk/Treasurer at 715-878-4645 or [email protected], or John Norby, Battalion Chief of Station #4.  Monetary donations to a municipality are tax-deductible.
