STREATOR – Marilla Park in Streator will be getting electrical upgrades in the near future. On Tuesday City Engineer Jeremy Palm updated committee members on a proposal from Ficek Electric to install a new 200 AMP service and load center at the park located on the northeast edge of the city. Palm says the proposal will involve ComEd installing a new transformer along Marilla Park Road that will feed a brand-new meter socket and service disconnect along the road.
Currently, all shelters at the park operate on a single circuit, leading to shortages when multiple shelters are in use. The upgrades will allow for plug-ins of audio equipment, ice machines, and other devices during events. The proposal will be presented at the next city council meeting.
