ARRA Project Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Winnipesaukee River Basin Program Celebrates Completion of Major Project
– Installation of New Aeration Blowers and Energy Efficiency Improvements
ARRA-funded Wastewater Project in New Hampshire
You are invited to join Tom Burack, DES Commissioner, officials from US EPA Region 1 and representatives from New Hampshire’s congressional delegation for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of significant improvements to the Franklin Wastewater Treatment Facility operated by the DES Winnipesaukee River Basin Program (WRBP). The WRBP is the state-owned sewer system serving portions of the New Hampshire Lakes Region communities of Center Harbor, Moultonboro, Gilford, Meredith, Laconia, Belmont, Sanbornton, Northfield, Tilton, and Franklin.
Half of the $2 million total project funding was provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Upgrades to the plant included new aeration blowers and an innovative green roof, both of which will provide significant energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions.
