By February 2009, the City of Ames Electric
Services Department will be constructing a 161,000-volt
power line between the Stange Road Substation and the Ames
Power Plant. The power line will follow the route of the
existing 69,000-volt between the Stange Road Substation and
the Ames Power Plant. Construction is scheduled to be
completed by December 2009. The purpose of this project will be to provide valuable back-up capability for system reliability. The new line will allow the City to import adequate power to continue service to our customers during maintenance outages at the Power Plant. A majority of customers will not experience any service interruptions during the line construction project. Ames Electric Services will contact customers directly affected by the project prior to starting any planned service interruptions. All efforts will be made to keep the frequency and duration of planned service interruptions to a minimum. |

| During construction, traffic flow may be
limited in areas within the immediate work area. Work will
be scheduled to minimize delays during peak traffic times.
