SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In Spring 2019, The Water Department completed installation of variable frequency drives (VFDs) for the Legacy Beach Pump Station. This project, designed by SPF Water Engineers and
constructed by AME Electric, Inc. provides improved control and adjustment of intake flows from the pump station to the water treatment plant. Additionally, significant energy saving
(approximately 180,259 kWh/yr, or $9,000/year) is anticipated.
This project qualified for Idaho Power’s Energy Efficiency Audit program. This grant program awards the applicants money based on the amount of energy saved (annually) and/or up to 70%
of the cost of improvements necessary to decrease energy consumption. Staff received Council approval to apply for this grant program on 8/11/18.
By completing the project and providing all necessary documentation, Idaho Power is now presenting the City with a check for $32,446.62. This incentive reimbursement along with the
annual energy savings will provide a payback period on the City’s ~$70,000 investment to install the VFDs of four (4) years.
Idaho Power representatives will present this reimbursement check to the City Council. Project engineers Eric Landsberg (SPF) and Public Works staff will also be present to answer any
questions about the project and attend the check presentation ceremony.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
None.
