trois choix s'offrent alors à elle : acheter de l'électricité à la Sherbrooke Gas and Electricity ou à la Southern Canada Power Co. ou acquérir un groupe électrogène. La troisième option est retenue et la Ville procède à l'agrandissement de la centrale Belding afin d'y installer une unité au diesel de 500 CV. Le coût total des installations s'élève à 65 000 $. Le groupe électrogène, qui pèse 30 tonnes, est acheminé à la centrale en 1941 grâce à une immense glissade construite dans la pente arrière de la centrale. <br /> <br /> 1944 - Création de la société d'état Hydro-Québec. <br /> <br /> Reconstruction du barrage de la rue Saint-Paul suite aux fortes inondations de 1942 et 1943. <br /> <br /> 1946 - Les régions rurales de Barford, Dixville, East-Hereford, Barnston, <!-SCT-->Paquetteville s'organisent en coopératives d'électricité. <br /> <br /> Le groupe électrogène ne suffit plus à combler la demande en électricité de la ville, c'est pourquoi la municipalité se relie au réseau de la Southern Canada Power Co., nécessitant ainsi la construction d'une sous-station sur la rue McDuffee. <br /> <br /> 1947 - La Ville de Coaticook achète de l'électricité à Hydro-Québec afin d'en faire la redistribution. </span> </div> <table id="scNav"><tr> <td width="172" style="text-align:left;"><a href="pm_v2.php?id=story_line_child&fl=&lg=English&ex=00000542&sl=4204&pos=1&scpos=1" id="scJumpFirst" class="scLink"><img src="English/CommunityMemories2/cm_images/sc_start.gif" width="10" height="9" /></a></td> <td width="170" style="text-align:right;"><a href="javascript:;" onClick="flip(this.id, 0, 1, 1);" id="scPrev" class="scLink"><img src="English/CommunityMemories2/cm_images/sc_prev.gif" width="9" height="9"></a><a href="pm_v2.php?id=story_line_child&fl=&lg=English&ex=00000542&sl=4204&pos=1&scpos=0" id="scJumpPrev" class="scLink"><img src="English/CommunityMemories2/cm_images/sc_prev.gif" width="9" height="9" /></a></td> <td width="174" style="text-align:left;"><a href="javascript:;" onClick="flip(this.id, 0, 1, 1);" id="scNext" class="scLink"><img src="English/CommunityMemories2/cm_images/sc_next.gif" width="9" height="9"></a><a href="pm_v2.php?id=story_line_child&fl=&lg=English&ex=00000542&sl=4204&pos=1&scpos=1" id="scJumpNext" class="scLink"><img src="English/CommunityMemories2/cm_images/sc_next.gif" width="9" height="9" /></a></td> <td width="172" style="text-align:right;"><a href="pm_v2.php?id=story_line_child&fl=&lg=English&ex=00000542&sl=4204&pos=1&scpos=1" id="scJumpLast" class="scLink"><img src="English/CommunityMemories2/cm_images/sc_last.gif" width="10" height="9" /></a></td> </tr> </table> </div> <div class="scSplit" id="scSplit" /> </body> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> var scCount = 1; var scShowing = []; flip("scPos", 1, 1, 1); </script>
