Currently, the Walnut Street pump <br />station does not use a variable frequency drive. Installation of two <br />variable frequency drives will allow the Walnut Street pumps to start <br />smoothly, use less energy and will reduce pressure surging into the <br />water lines. In addition, once the variable frequency drives are <br />installed, the City will qualify for a $32,344 energy saving rebate. <br /> <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on <br />bids were solicited.
