County Utilities Reduction Tracking County Utilities Reduction: Goal vs. Trends • Energy • The County has fallen short of our 20% energy reduction goal for FY15 achieving only a 14.8% reduction when compared to baseline year FY10. ■ A subset of major facilities showed usage increases during this time likely due to failing infrastructure that has since been replaced. • Still, the cumulative effect of these reductions since 2010 is a savings of over $778,000. • Water • The County exceeded our reduction goals achieving a 14.1% reduction in FY15, though the savings have varied from year to year. • The cumulative effect of these reductions since 2010 is a savings of $67,000. • Fuel • The County is not on track with our fuel reduction goals, though in recent years it has shown improvement. FY15 shows an mpg increase of 7.9 %, showing a 1.1% improvement from the previous year. • The cumulative effect of the increase in fuel usage since 2010 is a cost of $117, 000 since FY10. • While the higher- than - standard average age of the County fleet is a contributing factor, the more significant cause of this increased fuel usage has been increased service levels being delivered by some of the County's least efficient vehicles. ■ Our ambulances have some of the lowest miles per gallon figures of any vehicle in our fleet and they've been responding to significant increases in the volume of emergency calls. • Fuel- Saving Technology Grant Projects: To address this problem directly, County staff has collaborated on 2 grant projects piloting innovative propane bi -fuel systems and idle- reduction 2 15% 10% _ ,,rrrrr w 0% 1111J, Energy Reduction Goal a �uow° M 0 _5� ° °p ° uuuuuu ° °° m, % Energy Reduction Actual o 0 % Water Reduction Goal -10 % i ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° E °° ° ° °°°w° r0--r % Water Reduction Actual -15/ % Fuel MPG Increase Goal bb - 20 %w,,,, ��rF % Fuel MPG Increase Actual _25 Current Update o 30/ FY 10 FY 11 FY 12 FY 13 FY 14 FY 15 FY 16 FY 17 -35% • Energy • The County has fallen short of our 20% energy reduction goal for FY15 achieving only a 14.8% reduction when compared to baseline year FY10. ■ A subset of major facilities showed usage increases during this time likely due to failing infrastructure that has since been replaced. • Still, the cumulative effect of these reductions since 2010 is a savings of over $778,000. • Water • The County exceeded our reduction goals achieving a 14.1% reduction in FY15, though the savings have varied from year to year. • The cumulative effect of these reductions since 2010 is a savings of $67,000. • Fuel • The County is not on track with our fuel reduction goals, though in recent years it has shown improvement.
