Last week, we toured the progress inside our $170 million Renewable Energy Facility. Here are some of the latest photos.
The building houses equipment that will generate 25% of the plant’s electricity while conserving resources and reducing pollution. It is scheduled to go online this summer.

| Each of the three incinerators is lined with 130 tons of this brick. Every brick is numbered to ensure it is placed properly. |

| Two hearts, one love: Clean water. |
