1 Wastewater/Water Energy Training Program (Washington) Summary Report June 2012 through June 2013 Tacoma Water Size (MGD average for WWT or Population Served for DWTPs): Description: Describe the process of system or plant. Type: Water, Wastewater or Combined? Brief Description Energy Consumption (Annual; specify 12-month period eg: June 2011-May 2012) Savings in Total Expected Annual Energy Consumption (in kwh or ) Energy Costs (Annual; specify 12- month period eg: June 2011-May 2012) Savings in Total Expected Annual Energy Costs (in Dollars) Percentage Savings Estimated Green House Gas Reductions (tons) Other Benefits to Utility Summary Snapshot: Estimate population: 315,000 We capture, store, clean and deliver water to city of Tacoma customers and customers outside the city limits. Water Tacoma Power Jan 2011-Dec 2011 : 6,334,163 KWH Puget Sound Energy: Jan 2011-Dec 2011: 2,658,235 KWH Total: 8,992,398 KWH ; no comparison has been made to other years Tacoma Power: Jan 2011-Dec 2011 : $799, Puget Sound Energy: Jan 2011-Dec 2011: $244, Total: $1,044, ; no comparison has been made to other years ; comparisons have yet been made N/A 1. yet Detailed Report Energy Policy: We wisely use energy, water and other resources and ask that our customers do the same. We will: Achieve all cost-effective energy conservation with programs that offer financial incentives, promotions, customer education, and other marketing. Additionally Tacoma Power is committed to improving the efficiency of its distribution system 1 P a g e

2 Promote water conservation through financial incentives, distribution system improvements and customer education Reduce, recycle and reuse to reduce TPU s material needs Limit the impact of TPU utility operations on air and water quality through energy and water conservation Energy Goals and Targets: ; participation was only for educational purposes, not to achieve or create goals. However, this course has given this team the tools needed to make goals and seek for management approval.
