Description: Small wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) face increasingly complex challenges from tightening regulatory requirements to rising energy demands and escalating electricity costs. For small WWTPs energy expenses are often among the highest operational costs. This webinar will explore practical strategies for reducing energy consumption through targeted efficiency measures, energy audits, and available rebates and incentives. Actionable tools and resources will empower attendees to enhance efficiency, lower energy costs, and achieve long-term financial gains.
