FACTS AND FINDINGS:
• The project will remove the original fluorescent lighting fixtures and install new low maintenance energy efficient LED lighting fixtures in all areas and rooms on the main level of the Process Support Facility.
• The project will be funded with $70,000 of City Utility Rate funds. There is sufficient budget and expenditure authority in the Wastewater Non-Assessed fund for this project.
• The incentive available from Energy Trust of Oregon after upgrades and replacement of the lighting is estimated to be up to $18,200.
BACKGROUND:
Staff have been researching ways to reduce energy consumption and costs at Willow Lake. The lighting upgrades in the Process Support Facility will result in reducing annual maintenance costs by an estimated $3,013 and annual energy costs by $3,663 and increase sustainability.
