Weather, welds create problems for HU
Hastings Utilities crews have been addressing a variety of problems weather and non-weather related in the past few weeks.
On Dec. 29, 2012, plant operators at Whelan Energy Center Unit 2, a 220-megawatt coal-fired power plant, heard a loud noise coming from the boiler area.

HU Assistant Manager Al Meyer explained the situation to the Board of Public Works during its regular meeting Thursday.
