It takes a lot of energy to move energy around in our municipalities. According to the USEPA water treatment facilities and wastewater treatment facilities can account for 30 to 40% of a municipal’s energy use. On a statewide basis, water treatment facilities and wastewater treatment facilities account for almost 2% of the electricity usage.
