The Stillness of Winter




Venturing a bit further afield, our local power plant is actually in Boulder.

Lake Waneka was the original site of our first regional power plant.  The reservoir was built to provide water for the steam turbines.

This power plant, built in the 1920's replaced the Lake Waneka Plant.  Now powered by natural gas rather than coal, although you can see the proximity of the railroad tracks for ease of coal delivery.
