The system is projected to save the County 30-35% in energy costs annually with drastically lower maintenance costs and quieter, more environmentally sustainable operations.

Over its 50 year expected life, the system is projected to save the County approximately $600,000 in energy, maintenance, and equipment replacement costs.
