Through utilizing the Department of Enterprise Service’s Energy Program, the City wanted to make sure they were maximizing their other facilities to the best of their ability. After preliminary analysis, it was determined that lighting upgrades at City Hall, the Wastewater Treatment Plant, City Shop, Fire Station and Library as well as controls at their Treatment Plant and a VFD on Well #1 – would provide them with a good mixture of energy and operational savings. The infrastructure improvements put $9,973 back to the City’s bottom line and also cut their electrical usage by over 10%.
