The actions of water utilities play an important role in the efficiency of a community. Considerable energy savings can be gained from improvements made to pumps and motors, and a significant, often uncaptured, opportunity exists for energy generation in processing wastewater. Beyond efforts to directly conserve energy, energy demand can also be reduced through investments aimed at reducing water demand. The energy and water utilities do not currently offer joint energy and water efficiency programs.
At this point, the City of Akron Utilities Business Office has not established a water savings target or goal. The city does offer water saving tips on its website, however.
The water utility has not set specific energy efficiency targets or strategies for their drinking and wastewater facilities. Akron began generating electricity from anaerobic digestion at its Water Reclamation Facility in Programs are available for all residents of Albuquerque connected to the ABCWUA potable water system with specialized programs for low-income residents.
This portfolio of rebates was launched between and Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority is improving energy efficiency and resiliency to climate change by implementing renewable energy projects at the production and reclamation plants, the largest sources of energy.
Yearly goals and objectives for energy efficiency projects are developed to continually augment our renewable energy portfolio. The Water Authority solar arrays generate 7. Twenty percent of the energy needs at these two plants are achieved through on-site solar arrays.
