Bob MacDonald, the operator of the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), attended the Energy Committee last night and explained to them that he has obtained a $180,000 DOER grant towards the cost of installation of a solar PV array at the WWTP. Bob indicated that he needs to get hard cost and payback numbers.
The Energy Committee already has a $12,000 DOER grant to analyze three potential solar PV sites in town, including the WWTP, so once that survey is complete, the WWTP should have the hard numbers Bob is seeking before he will bring the proposal to the town meeting to see if the town wants to install a solar PV system at the WWTP.
Kudos to Bob MacDonald for getting the grant monies for the town.
