Capital City Approves Waste-to-energy Project
The City Council has agreed to support a proposal for a $200,000 project development of the Waste Water Treatment Facility to use methane gas generated to heat and power the plant.
“Biogas” is a byproduct of the plant and could significantly lower energy costs, reduce the plant’s carbon footprint and help the city meet its net-zero fossil-fuel use goals, officials say.
The City Council made the decision to fund the project after a presentation last week that provided an update on the first phase of the project that was funded by a $16.75 million bond voters approved in November 2018.
