Drinking Water Treatment Plant: 50 Arlington Ave. Beverly, MA 01915
Project Description: Variable Speed Drives: These new pump systems make it so that water pumps can change the speed of pumping water depending on the demand. For example, with variable speeds, a water pump is no longer always running at top speed. When less water is being demanded the pump can reduce its speed and therefore save energy.
Low Flow Toilet and Faucet Replacements: Salem Fire Department, Public Library, and Bentley Elementary School
Project Description: Low-flow faucets and toilets: This means that low-flow fixtures were installed in sinks and toilets. These fixtures moderate the flow of water and therefore reduce water and energy consumption.
