Des Moines Water Works has taken a pro- active step in good stewardship of energy and ratepayer dollars by embarking on a comprehensive energy conservation and management program. Energy costs are a significant portion of the operational budget so focusing on developing and implementing an energy management system is a crucial step in this stewardship. Des Moines Water Works’ program began in June 2. U. S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office to pursue Superior Energy Performance (SEP) certification. A requirement for SEP is to first be certified to ISO 5.

Published in 2. 01. ISO 5. 00. 01 Energy Management System (En. MS) standard is a globally accepted framework for managing energy, providing technical and management strategies for enterprises to increase energy efficiency, reduce costs, and improve environmental performance. Des Moines Water Works then assigned energy management responsibilities to an existing staff member who received intensive training from Georgia Tech.

Having a Certified Practitioner in Energy Management Systems (CP En. MS) on staff rather than hiring consultants is another way to be good stewards of ratepayer dollars. Implementing an Energy Management System is critical to creating a systematic approach to improving our energy efficiency. Certification has many advantages. With systematic energy management, the company’s energy use is measured from the source to the customer. As a result, potentials for cutting operational costs can be detected and put into place.

In the long run, we not only reduce our energy consumption but also demonstrate our commitment to sustainability to our customers, employees, suppliers, and regulators. Following ISO 5. 00. Energy Policy was developed to guide the company. An Energy Team was formed and includes personnel from all areas of the organization. The team is charged with putting everything in place to achieve ISO 5.

Des Moines Water Works one of the first public water utilities in the world to achieve the certification. To submit a comment or energy saving suggestion, please fill out this suggestion form. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa issued its ruling on March 1. Des Moines Water Works’ claims against the Boards of Supervisors in Sac County, Buena Vista County and Calhoun County. In March 2. 01. 5, Des Moines Water Works Board of Trustees filed a federal lawsuit against the Boards of Supervisors in their capacities as trustees of 1. The complaint alleged the named drainage districts are point source polluters as defined by the Clean Water Act and Iowa Code Chapter 4. B, and called for the drainage districts take all necessary actions to comply with the Clean Water Act.

In addition, Des Moines Water Works demanded damages in an amount required to compensate for the harm the drainage districts caused by their unlawful discharge of nitrate.“As an independent water utility, the sole focus of Des Moines Water Works is to provide safe and affordable drinking water to the 5. Iowans we serve. Water quality is an issue that we take very seriously, and the conclusion of the lawsuit will not change that,” said Bill Stowe, CEO and General Manager, Des Moines Water Works. The risks remain and demand immediate accountability to protect our state.”The ruling dismissing the case did not dispute the assertion that drainage districts cause water quality problems in the Raccoon River Watershed. Rather, the court indicated that Des Moines Water Works may well have suffered an injury, but the drainage districts lack the legal ability to redress that injury. According to Stowe, “Policy and law must keep pace as public health and water quality concerns demonstrate both risk and cost to water consumers; that includes 1.

Iowa Code dealing with drainage districts and implementation of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy.”The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy estimates that 9.
