Californian water district goes solar

The California Metropolitan Water District, which is used by almost 20 million people in several Californian counties in the LA area, will start using solar energy for its power needs.
“This demonstrates how serious we are about addressing our carbon footprint. This is the first of a series of actions on numerous fronts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from our operations and lessen the impacts to state and regional water supplies.” said Mr Timothy F Brick, Chairman of the California Metropolitan Water District.


The facility will be built on the Robert A. Skinner Water Treatment Plant in Riverside County, which will generate as much as 2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.


The District is planning to use wind power in the future as well.
