Eco-friendly initiatives
The Council is working on various
eco-friendly initiatives including up-
grading all the treatment plants with
solar panels in an effort to reduce
electricity consumption. This will be

consume a lower amount of power
is the installation of variable speed
drives at the larger pump stations.
There is a great awareness in the
Council regarding the necessity to
recycle water and the release from
the sewage treatment plants is used
