Power Resiliency at Water Utilities: What States Can Do Lauren Wisniewski U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ASDWA Webinar August 5, 2015

Power Resilience Guide for Drinking Water and Wastewater Utilities

Communication Get your utility on the priority list for power restoration Have 24/7 contact information for your electric and gas utilities, emergency management agency, and EOC Verify that electric utility has physical locations of critical components

Communication Engage in joint training and exercises Share emergency response plans Discuss options to increase power resiliency, such as tree trimming and an express feed

Communication: State Primacy Agency & EMAs Coordination on how water is addressed in State Emergency Response Plan Joint training and exercises Staffing water desk in state EOC

Power Assessments Determine power requirements for critical equipment during a power outage Use a qualified electrician Enter information into EPFAT

Generator Considerations Sizing Buy, Rent, or Borrow Transfer Switches Fuel Type Placement Maintenance

Generator Tips and Lessons Learned Proactively go off grid before storm Have generator needs ready to share with EOC Keep small generators on trailers Keep basic supplies and spare parts on hand Have back-up for your back-up power Running generators in parallel at sites needing >500kW

Fuel Storage Tank Sizing Incorporate fuel management into maintenance schedule –Clean fuel tanks –Gel and fuel additives –Fuel polishing unit Refill tanks

Fuel Distribution Have multiple refueling options –Contracts with several local vendors –Utility trucks with fuel tanks Minimize energy use when using generators

Energy Efficiency Install energy efficient equipment to reduce energy needs and increase power resiliency Set up energy efficiency audit with electrical provider Utilize variable frequency drives (VFDs), screw pumps in the aeration system, and other equipment to decrease energy requirements

On-site Power Wind Mills Fuel cells Solar panels Combined Heat and Power
