Not only does Bellevue have the capacity for a Gig, but Bellevue has back up power too.  You see, it’s a one two technological infrastructure punch.  Bellevue has a fiber optic connection going to every address within the city and the entire city is on back up power and in the event of a power loss, the city of Bellevue, Iowa can fire up it’s own generating plant and have power restored in anywhere from five to thirty minutes.  Watch the videos below to learn about Bellevue, Iowa’s generating plant and how things work…very cool!

Below is an interview with City Utility Manager, Bob Ploessl and City Manager, Loras Herrig.

In this Video, Bob Ploessl gives us a tour of the Power Plant.
