<br />Virginia; fossil -fuel -fired thermoelectric power plants consume more than 132 billion gallons of
<br />fresh water per day (2008) in the United States alone, which translates to an average of 25
<br />gallons of water to produce 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity. IEEE Spectrum, by Willie Jones,

<br />In February 2019, the City approved a "Water Systems Alternative Energy Feasibility Study"
<br />prepared by Newcomb Anderson McCormick (NAM), a Willdan Company ("NAM Study"). This
<br />study included an evaluation of the potential to install on -site renewable energy systems to
<br />offset some of the electrical load, lower electric bills, and reduce the associated greenhouse gas
<br />(GHG) emissions. The renewable energy resources that were evaluated included installing solar
<br />PV modules on the roofs of the storage tanks at five of the pump stations, including Garthe and
<br />West. This study is posted in Appendix B.
<br />The results of the NAM Study determined that the estimated annual amount of energy that
<br />would be generated would be 894,325 kWh at the Garth site and 422,617 kWh for the West
<br />site, for a total of 1,316,942 kWh annually. Given that there are 8,760 total hours in a year, a
<br />simple calculation reveals that this equates to a capacity of approximately 150 kW per year.
