Water-Wastewater Efficiency Programs for Municipal Customers

October 27, 2009 2:00-3:30pm Eastern

What's It About?

Efficiency programs serving the water and wastewater treatment sector present an opportunity to realize significant energy savings and provide critical cost relief to municipal customers. There are more than 16,000 water and wastewater treatment facilities, located in virtually every community in the U.S. These facilities represent the largest energy consumers in many municipalities. Aging infrastructure, rising energy costs, and tightening permit regulations threaten to swamp municipal service budgets across North America. As a result, treatment facility managers and municipal officials are more receptive than previously to opportunities to reduce their energy costs while improving their effluent quality. This session will focus on effective means to achieve energy savings in the water-wastewater sector, with a focus on considerations for program design, key technologies and processes, and lessons learned from experienced program administrators.
