This serves as an organic, renewable power source that cuts down on costs, is environmentally friendly, and encourages the breeding of electric eels. All eels will be cared for in-house at the station and officers are already scheduled for training in their handling and electric current production. We look forward to taking this exciting new step with you and will keep you posted as we progress!' Breaking praline developments from River Street Sweets!
