'Up to 1,000 Gallons per Day': Roseville to Covert Wastewater Into Methane To Power Waste Collection Fleet
The City of Roseville has a new way to power its vehicles: they're using wastewater and turning it into fuel.
Believe it or not, what goes down, will soon power up part of Roseville.
"We're really excited about this because we've been planning since 2016," said Devin Whittington, assistant utility director for the city.
Whittington said it's called the Energy Recovery Project. Essentially, they're taking wastewater, converting it into methane, and putting it into a form that can fuel their waste collection fleet.
