The generator is connected to a series of light bulbs. As the students pedal, the load is increased\u00a0and more lights\u00a0switch on. Very few students or teachers have been able to keep all of the lights on for very long. Most students agree\u00a0they would watch less TV.<br \/>\n<strong>To schedule\u00a0a Public Power Week tour, please email us at <a href=\"mailto:kashby@springvilleutah.gov\">kashby@springvilleutah.gov<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:kashby@springvilleutah.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><button class=\"btn btn-info\">Email<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Springville Power Resources Tours Public Power Week For\u00a0over\u00a015 years, fifth grade students from Springville area schools have been invited to attend the City\u2019s Public Power Week open house at the Whitehead Utility Center.
