Sneads is a small community in Florida's panhandle. Its largest attraction is the Three Rivers State Park that features ai thriving forest ecosystem with: severai water features. Hurricane Michael, which hit the Florida Panhandle in 2019, caused minor damage to thet town. Repairs and recovery are underway. The system' s potential energy savings are found ini the tables above. They will be discussed in detail later int this report. Section 2: Initial Findings and Baseline 2.1 Operations and Facility Overview Town of Sneads's Wastewater Treatment Plant is a simple affair. It primarily uses air driven systems to treat the wastewater. The air is provided by 3 blowers that'run almost constantly. While the system is equipped with variable frequency drives (VFDs), there; are no control sensors attached to them. By automating' VFDs with dissolved oxygen (DO) probes, the system could be improved. This will be discussed in greater detail in Section 3.1. The system uses gravity feeding to transfer the wastewater between the various treatment areas. This method is excellent for energy efficiency as pumps are not used to transfer the wastewater between zones. The final material is dewatered with al belt press that uses very small motors. This method of dying, solids is not the most efficient, but ultimately the system uses the belt press very littlé to cause itto be ac contributing factor to the overall energy usage. 2.2 Electric Bills and Baseline Consumption The system receives their electricity from West Florida Electric Cooperative. Overall the system uses slightly more power than, systems of a similar size. This difference most likely stems from the air driven system used to treat the wastewater. On average, the system consumes 73,275 kWh each month, which costs an average of $8,182. This makes the average cost per kWh, including taxes and other fees, 4 : SE9E 2 $0.112 which is just above the State average of $0.10 per kWh. The system is also charged for demand; demand is ar measure of how much power the system needs at any given point int time and is usually measured in fifteen minute windows. The systems generates an average of 240 kW of demand each month; the charges for demand make up an average of 15% of the monthly bill. Typically 30%ofa system's bill goes to demand charges. These figures will be used to generate the estimates contained below. One last thing to note about the electric bills is that the electric provider began charging a "Hurricane Recovery Fee" to affected users in May 2019. This fee is being charged by the electric provider to recover their costs for upgrading and rebuilding the energy infrastructure damage by Hurricane Michael in 2019. The monthly average for this fee is $297.94 and the fee should stop being charged in the next few months. If the charges do not stop by October 2020, the system is urged to contact their provider and ask for additional information concerning the fee and when it will no longer be charged. Section 3: Suggested Improvements 3.1 DO Probes and VFD Automation The system aiready has variable frequency drives (VFDs) installed on their blowers and uses them in the manual setting. This helps reduce energy costs a little bit already, but the overall savings can be improved. By adding dissolved oxygen (DO) probes or oxygen reduction potential (ORP) probes the system can better monitor their aeration levels in the plant. While oxygen needs vary from day to day within the plant and from plant toj plant, the probes can! help automate the system and maintain the ideal amount. The system has already obtained a quote for the DO probes. The estimated costi is $15,600. While the VFD will vary the speed throughout the day, an estimated running speed of 90% is expected, though the speed could go lower increasing the savings. Running the blowers at 90% speed results in an estimated $4,321 savings. This yields an éstimated simple paybacki if3 years and 7 months. 3.2 Lighting Upgrade While fluorescent lighting was a huge energy saver when it first debuted, it has since been out done by a more energy efficient form of lighting: LED bulbs. The advantage a LED bulb as overa traditional fluorescent bulb is that the LEDI bulb does not need al ballast. In a traditional fluorescent fixture al ballast is used to regulate the voltage and current running into the bulbs. This tends to increase the electrical usage of the bulb. By removing the ballast all together the overall efficiency of the bulb increases. The system is advised tol have al licensed electrician remove the ballast and rewire the fixture. During the on-site visit, 801 fluorescent bulbs were counted. Thé estimated cost to replace these bulbs with LED bulbs, noti including the cost to rewire the fixtures, is $485. The estimated annual energy savings is $2,616. This yields an éstimatéd simple payback of three months. 3 Section 4: Financing Options 4.1 USDAI Rural Development Loan The USDA Rural Development Loan program loans rural communities the funds to finance installations of and improvements to water, sanitary sewerage, solid waste, and storm wastewater facilities. Town of Sneads is eligible to apply. In addition to the programs related to improving infrastructure, Rural Development has many other programs designed to helpi improve rural communities. FRWA can help your system apply tot the program. Contact your circuit rider for more information. You can also contact your local State Rural Development Office with the information below: MARIANNA AREA OFFICE Loria Phillips, Area Director 2741 Pennsylvania Avenue, Suite! 5 Marianna, Florida 32448 Telephone: (850)526-2610 Fax: (855) 474-6969 Historiçally LOWA interest Rates through USDAWEP LoanEunding 1.625% to 2.75% 4.2 State Revolving Fund Town of Sneads can apply fora a loan from the State Revolving Fund (SRF) managed by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). This program helps communities and municipalities install and improve their water systems. The system features two distinct branches, Clean Water SRF and Drinking Water SRF, which have distinct rules for qualifying projects. Additional information can be found on the SRE website, https:l/floridadep.gov/wra/sirf, or by contacting your FRWA Circuit rider. 4.3Sustainability, Partners Sustainability Partners is an alternative solution to traditional funding methods. Sustainability Partners offers, "a usage based utility model, [Sustainability Partners] assume the ownership responsibilities and risks for essential services while our clients pay a monthly fee for usage. Sustainability Partners] generate significant: cost savings for partners through our: stream-lined engineer/design process, direct procurement, maintenance and energy savings." " This method is often faster than other funding sources allowing systems to obtain their capital improvements in about a year.
