Colorado Springs Utilities Works To Clear The Air On Scrubber Project Cost

BY MONICA MENDOZA monica.mendoza@gazette.com -When Colorado Springs Utilities inked a deal in 2011 to spend $111.8 million on a scrubber technology project to clean pollutants coming from the coal-fired Martin Drake power plant, officials budgeted $10 million for site work. But the project was delayed, material prices increased, and the city-owned Colorado Springs Utilities had to hire a contractor to assist in the project - which includes installing massive equipment into tight spaces on the downtown Drake campus. The $121.8 million project to install Neumann Systems Group's NeuStream scrubbers for two boilers at Drake is now projected at $170 million.
