To increase energy efficiency in the water/wastewater sector, the State of Wisconsin developed
an energy efficiency program which included program offerings specifically targeted at the
water/wastewater industry. The primary goal of the program was to save energy at water/wastewater treatment facilities and
distribution/collection systems by implementing energy-saving modifications. The objective was
to develop an assessment approach that would provide the owner with four useful tools that include:
review facilities (Energy Survey) and make recommendations for improvements;
provide a description of the modifications and estimate of the energy that could be saved;
provide an estimated modification cost and estimated payback in terms of energy savings;
and,
facilitation assistance to move the project to implementation.
This approach was well-received by municipalities because the results from these work items
were summarized in a short report presented to superintendents. The superintendents presented
the information to their governing bodies. The governing bodies used them to assist in their
decision to move forward with project(s). Includes figure.
