lowa to photograph
for energy leaks
By WILLIAM L. EBERLINE
Associated Press Writer
DES MOINES, lowa (AP) -
Some 800 lowa cities will have
their pictures taken from the air
this winter to determine which
homeowners are trying to heat
the whole outdoors.
The project, dubbed “Oper
ation Sky Scan,” is being spon
sored by the state’s investor
owned electric and gas utilities
as part of an energy con
servation campaign.
“This is the first program of
its kind ever undertaken on a
statewide basis,” said John M.
Lewis, president of the lowa
Utility Association.
“We hope to get started with
in a matter of weeks — probably
by Nov. 15.”
The utility firms have con
tracted with Texas In
struments, Inc., of Dallas to
shoot infrared aerial pictures of
communities they serve.
Where an ordinary camera
produces pictures of light re
flecting from the surface of the
photo subject, an infrared cam
era reacts to heat radiation.
When infrared photos of a city
are taken from the air at night,
buildings show up in varying
shades of gray — pale gray if
the building is giving off a lot of
heat, darker gray if less heat is
being lost.

Lewis said that makes in
frared photography of cities one
of the best and lowest cost ways
of spotting insufficiently in
sulated buildings.
Many private consultants
around the country are using
the technique, called ther
mography, to help consumers
and business executives learn
where their insulation is in
sufficient. The cost ranges from
$25 to SIOO, depending on the
extent of the inspection and re
port.
In addition, individual utili
ties in other states are running
thermography programs.
estimates that the pro
gram will cost the lowa utilities
about $460,000 to scan 800 lowa
communities.
“The photos will become the
property of the the utility
serving each community,”
said. “Each utility com
pany will arrange for any inter
ested homeowner to see how
much heat is being lost from his
home.
“The home owner may want
to put in more insulation to cut
down on heat loss and reduce
his utility bills.
“There’s nothing compulsory
about it, but we think enough
homeowners will want to do
something about it to achieve a
significant saving in energy.
The saving is year round, of
course, because better in
sulation means less energy is
needed to cool the house in the
summer as well as heat it in
winter."
The weatherman has to coop
erate before a sky scan can be
done, Lewis said. The tempera
ture has to be under 35 degrees,
the sky clear and roofs free of
snow for the scanner to work.

Reservoir dam condition
reported as excellent
Spalding County people and
those living in neighboring
counties who live on Head’s
Creek and the Flint River south
of the city of Griffin reservoir
have been assured the dam at
the reservoir is in excellent
condition.
Harry Simmons, superin
tendent of the Water Depart
ment, said the dam at the
reservoir has steel pilings
reinforcing it.
Simmons also said the Griffin
area has had rainfall heavier
than that of the past few days
and the dam withstood the
rainfall then. He also said there
has been no problem with the
dam and he does not expect any.
The dam at Toccoa Falls that
broke Sunday backed an 80-acre
lake. The city’s billion gallon
raw water reservior in Spalding
County backs up a 325-acre

Mr. and Mrs. Paul Varnadoe,

received his first promotion in

Varnadoe, promoted to air

lake.
The heavy rains caused the
level in the reservoir and the
Flint River to rise, but did not
pose any danger to life.
Simmons also said the dam in
the Flint River is supported by
steel.
The city of Griffin receives its
water from the river and the
reservoir.
Thirty-seven people were
killed when the dam at the Kelly
Barnes Lake broke and a wall of
water 30-feet high roared
through Toccoa Bible College
and the Toccoa Falls com
munity.
“As far as I know, we do not
have any farm dams in
Spalding County in any
danger,” H. D. “Shorty”
Garrison of the Soil Con
servation Service said.

dam he has doubts about, I
would be glad to take a look at it
and make recommendations,”
he said.
Garrison said dams con
structed under the supervision
of the Soil Conservation Service
were designed to handle the
water flow from the area and
any amount of rainfall.
“Extra precautions are taken
where a dam is constructed
above a road or where they
would be any danger to people
downstream in the case of
breakage,” he said.
“We have very few dams in
our county that would pose any
danger to lives. The largest
farm pond we have in the
county is 35 acres, nothing like
the size of the one where the
dam broke near Toccoa,” he
said.
Garrison said farmers are in
charge of their own ponds and
dams and generally want to
keep them in good condition
because of their investment in
construction of the pond and
dam.
Some of the old dams may
have defective pipes, but
Garrison feels none of these
would cause breakage of the
dams.
