The Mt. Carmel City Council is getting closer to making a decision on whether to locate solar power array on the property at the city’s sewer plant. The council has been considering the idea since a Pennsylvania company presented a plan that commissioners eventually decided contained too many unknowns and possibly put the city at financial risk. Now, the city is looking into having Morton Solar and Electric build the array with the city paying for the system with a loan and state and federal rebates. According to City clerk Ryan Turner, recent measurements taken at the proposed location indicated the solar array would fit. Turner said it was now time for the council to decide whether to move ahead with the solar program or scrap it completely. After input from the council, Turner said he will look into getting interest rates from local banks and present funding information at their next meeting on August 19th.
