I live on Whidbey Island in western Washington State. It's a quaint and pretty place, and I believe the largest island in the coastal waters of the continental US.

When looking at houses back in late 2001 my wife and I were pleasantly surprised to find the one we wanted had a 10kw propane generator (4 cyl) attached to the house. It’s in a small, insulated shed with it’s own exhaust pipe and vent for the radiator. It’s a small industrial model. I was told by one of the guys who services it that the City of Tacoma (WA) has the identical generator and relay panel as a backup for their water treatment plant. He also said they go for about $12000 installed.
