Conservation Efforts to Bring City Honors
Six school districts and five private schools will be honored by the City Council Tuesday for their efforts to save water and energy.
Under the Efficiency Menu for Schools Program, sponsored by the Anaheim Public Utilities Department, 62 campuses completed energy and water audits, and installed 1,094 ultra-low-flush toilets and 459 security lights purchased with state and federal grants.
The program will save 15 million gallons of water a year, enough to supply 46 families with water annually, said Mariann Long, efficiency program director for the utilities department.
EarthStar awards for energy and water efficiency will go to the Anaheim City, Anaheim Union High, Magnolia and Placentia-Yorba Linda school districts, and Fairmont Private Schools and St. Anthony Claret School.
Orange Unified School District, St. Boniface Elementary School, Prince of Peace Lutheran School and Servite High School will receive a water efficiency award. Savanna School District will be honored for energy efficiency.
