   When power is lost at the plant, the generator senses the power loss and automatically activates, Collins said. The generator automatically shuts off when power is restored. Collins said during high-demand periods, especially in the summer, water service could be lost to customers in as little as four hours without power at the plant. Reserve supplies from storage tanks can be used up quickly without the water plant in operation. The generator ensures that even though the lights may be out at Russellville residences, the water will continue to run, he said, adding a tank of fuel will allow the plant to operate at 70 percent for approximately 30 hours. Also, the tanks can be refueled during a lengthy electricity loss, Collins said. When ice storms hit parts of Arkansas in 2000, residents there lost electricity and water service for several days. Collins said City Corp. is now prepared for such a storm if it hits Russellville in the future. "That's what we're trying to avoid here," Collins said. "We don't want our customers to be without water service for any period of time." Also, Collins said there are a variety of power outages during the year, and City Corp. would be prepared for a number of unforeseen emergencies. He said the Arkansas Department of Health suggests back-up generators at water plants, although the type of generator constructed for Russellville's water plant is fairly rare in Arkansas. Conway uses a similar back-up system, he said. "The technology involved here is great," Collins said.
