Because of its limitations, we couldn’t run all the special test equip- ment and the air condition- ing, but now, we have more than enough power.” Since it is run on propane gas, the modern standby gen- erator is much easier on the environment when compared with the older gasoline driven model. It can produce 100 amperes of power and a run for a week, if necessary, while the retired unit could only manage 15 amps, and last for a few hours before refilling the tank. The company also uses line power supplies with bat- tery back-up which can last three to four hours during hydro power failures. “Mind you,” added De Jong, “all this doesn’t help if storms or accidents knock our cables down. When that happens, it’s a scramble to get the lines repaired as quickly as possi- ble.” PLus st zn 12° * Sheet Halton Hills This Week, Saturday, July 24, 1993 —.Page 11 Immunization clinics Halton Regional Health Department offers community immunization clinics monthly in Oakville and Burlington and bi-monthly in Georgetown and Milton.
