Murray City power plant - Murray UT
Description
The National Youth Administration (NYA) contributed work teams to the construction of a new power plant for the municipal power system of Murray, Utah (the NYA was a part of the Works Progress Administration of the New Deal). A team of 85 NYA workers also helped in the conversion of an old theater in town into offices for the Municipal power system.
The town of Murray municipalized its local electric power system in 1912, along with its water and sewage systems. The power plant has been modified, but is still in use as part of the city power system.
