LOGAN, Utah (AP) -- Water diverted from the Logan River will provide electricity again at a Logan flour mill.
Crews have installed a turbine at Central Milling that will produce about 50 kilowatts of electricity from diverted Logan River water.
The turbine was used for years to produce electricity for the mill. It was removed in the 1970s.
Plant Manager Fred Watson says the company decided to reinstall the turbine as a way to get renewable, nonpolluting electricity. Power generated by the turbine will be sent back to the grid and the mill will be given credit on its bill.
Cost for the system will be about $250,000.
