American Water Works Association Research Foundation: "Best Practices for Energy Management [Project #2621B], 2003

 

Energy is a significant portion of the cost of water and wastewater treatment. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the AWWA Research Foundation (AWWA-RF) assembled a consortium of 24 utilities across the U.S. to participate in a benchmarking study about energy management. The 185-page report and tools, including benchmark guide and survey forms, is included in the 2004 report entitled "Best Practices for Energy Management". It is available to both members and non-members for a fee.

 

Please see AWWA's Bookstore on their website to order a copy of the report.
