According to a recent EPA analysis [1], water and wastewater treatment facilities use approximately 3% of the nation's total energy. A recent survey of major wastewater treatment plants by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) found that aeration consumed 26% and in-plant pumping consumed 38% of the facility's energy use.
Energy costs for water and wastewater can be 33% of a municipality's total energy bill. Energy efficiency investments have outstanding rates of return and can reduce costs by 25% or more.
