Burlington Mayor's Press Conference: Stormwater and Wastewater Improvements

Description

Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss is joined by DPW staff and others to announce details of $1.3M in combined sewer stormwater mitigation projects and wastewater aeration energy efficiency improvements funded through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. 
While most of the work has been underground and therefore not visible to the public, this project has made a significant improvement on water quality in the Lake Champlain Basin and operational energy consumption within the City’s largest wastewater treatment plant. Initial evaluations of the project impact include a reduction of several hundred thousands of gallons in stormwater runoff previously draining to the combined sewer through both runoff reduction and runoff separation projects, as well as substantial savings through more energy efficient technology at the Main Wastewater Treatment Plant.
