We got the funds! We will be receiving $3.2 million in federal funding to construct a solar radiation water pollution control facility.

The City of Sun Prairie is elated to receive federal funding for construction of a solar radiation project at the water pollution control facility. This is an incredible opportunity to implement a project that will increase energy efficiency and the sustainability of water pollution control operations. This project will address the increase in wastewater received at the Wastewater Treatment Plant by utilizing solar radiation to reduce the volume of biosolids produced at the wastewater facility. The City is looking forward to the positive impacts that will result from this work such as an increase in efficiency, addressing redundancy, reduction of biosolid handling costs, and production of a valuable product with potential to serve as a revenue generating source. Funding has been made possible by the support of Senator Tammy Baldwin and Congressman Mark Pocan.
