Happy METU Monday!

Is your infrastructure in need of a tune-up?

If you answered yes to the above question, then let us remind you about the Municipal Energy Tune Up (METU) Program.

METU offers energy efficiency project assistance from “cradle to grave” to all central valley local governments.

· Energy Benchmarking measures energy usage at each of your sites to identify opportunities for energy and money savings.

· Readiness Reports to outline the steps needed to get the project done and information to get projects approved.

· Advanced Project Assistance should your staff lack the time to manage the project to completion.

These services are made possible with funding from PG&E and completely free of charge to you. Don’t have the budget for energy efficiency projects? We can help with that too!

Look out for METU near you!

We are excited to be working with so many of our local government partners. In addition to our work in the City of Avenal. We have also completed benchmarking for the City of Arvin and will be completing a lighting upgrade project on 7 of Arvin’s municipal buildings. The City of Corcoran is our newest addition for whom we are currently in the process of benchmarking. METU recently went out on a water audit with the Lincus WISE program for the City of Corcoran. We are on the move!

Let's talk about water!
We received great news from California Governor Jerry Brown on Friday. The drought is officially over for most of California except for Fresno, Tulare, Kings, and Tuolumne counties. It seems we are near the end of this state of emergency, but it is important to recognize that conserving water saves energy. Please be encouraged to continue implementing good water conservation practices.

Speaking of water, when was your last municipal pump test?
If you can't answer that question, it has probably been too long! There is a significant cost savings in testing pumps for efficiency and implementing variable frequency drives (VFDs) to ensure you are not pumping when you don't need to be. Plus, pump tests can be incentivized by your electric utility provider.

Don't know where to start?
Call us! We would be happy to get you started with water or waste water treatment experts through any one of the following programs and assist you through the process:

- Water Infrastructure System Efficiency (WISE)
- California Wastewater Process Optimization (CalPOP)
- Advanced Pumping Efficiency (APEP)

Look out for METU near you!
We are excited to be working with so many of our local government partners. In addition to our work in the City of Avenal, we have also completed benchmarking for the City of Arvin and will move on to the project planning phase soon. The City of Corcoran is the newest addition to the list of cities for whom we are benchmarking.
