The Pella City Council approved a contract to survey the electrical distribution system at this week’s meeting.

City of Pella Finance Director Corey Goodenow says that reliability of the electric system is the reason why they conduct surveys like these. He says they are focusing on the north side of town because of the expansion of homes in the area. The engineering contract was awarded to DeWild, Grant, Reckert, and Associates for $15,000.
