Mt. Pleasant Council Approves Transformer Purchase, Delays Fire Billing Ordinance
The Mt. Pleasant City Council approved a $653,054 purchase of an electrical transformer and postponed a fire billing ordinance requiring further information. This transformer acquisition is critical for enhancing the electrical system's capacity and aligns with the city's capital facilities plan.

On April 28, the Mt. Pleasant City Council approved a $653,054 purchase of an MVA transformer from Wesco for Substation 3. The decision is significant as the transformer is necessary to achieve compatibility within the electrical system, with a lead time of two years.
The city will finance the purchase through its power impact fee fund, which currently stands at approximately $920,000. Meanwhile, the council delayed the adoption of Ordinance 2026-07 concerning proposed fire department billing rates, pending further details on the rate schedule. This ordinance aims to establish charges for various emergency services but requires clarity on specific billing scenarios before proceeding.
