CEDAR FALLS — Two possible sites have been identified for a costly electric generating plant that Cedar Falls Utilities is giving strong consideration to building. DGR Engineering of Rock Rapids gave the board of trustees an update Wednesday that introduced the locations. The new plant wouldn't necessarily be the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken by CFU, but with a price tag of up to $64 million, Director of Operations Bill Skubal said it would certainly be the most expensive. Project Manager Dennis Haselhoff and his team of engineers detailed how one location is city land immediately south of CFU's Viking Road Substation in the 2200 block of Union Road, about a half mile south of the intersection with West Viking Road, east of the roadway and at the edge of the future industrial park expansion.
