EPA Awards Jackson, Miss., $115M to Fix Water Woes

Jun 7, 2023

Photo by American Public Power Association June 7, 2023 Jackson, Miss., was awarded $115 million by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to fix a plagued water system and received the first round of the funds for engineering and leak controls. Ted Henifin, Jackson's federally appointed third-party water manager, said $15 million has already be allocated by EPA for projects aimed at leak repairs. In announcing the funding on June 6, the EPA said in a statement that the grant was intended to support “critical water infrastructure investments” in Jackson. The initial $115-million award, to the Jackson Public Water System, will be used to stabilize and rebuild the city’s water infrastructure. Work includes identifying and fixing leaks in the distribution system, developing a system-wide assessment of valves and hydrants, ensuring adequate pumping capacity to maintain water pressure and distribution and producing a system stabilization and sustainability plan, the EPA said. Last summer, the Mississippi capital's water crisis made global news. For decades the city has had water problems, but last August water stopped flowing. First, a water treatment plant stopped operating normally, relying on backup pumps after two main raw water pumps were damaged, ENR reported . Then, the backup pumps failed during the flooding of the Pearl River. The combined problems caused a nearly total to complete loss of water pressure in and around Jackson. Top Priority: Fixing Leaks Henifin, appointed as Jackson's water manager by the U.S. Justice Dept. last year, said in a June 5 speech that the top priority is to repair the city’s hundreds of water leaks. Henifin said the leaks cause Jackson, a city of roughly 150,000, to use 50 million gallons of water daily, while comparably sized cities typically use 20 million gallons a day. "We should not need more than 20 million gallons of water yet we're putting close to 50 into the system every day, he said. "That's because we have leaks everywhere– big leaks we haven't even found," One large leak that was sealed recently lost 5 million gallons daily, he said. Ironically, the day before the EPA award was announced, Jackson discovered another massive leak in its downtown area. In his speech, Henifin outlined the financial strain the water crisis is causing the city. Only 56% of its outstanding water bills are collected; the other 44% percent of water users are connected but don’t have water accounts, he said. The impact totals hundreds of millions. The city has approximately $280 million in outstanding debt, including an annual bond payment of $23 million. Two Treatment Facilities City officials said that with the savings generated by the EPA grant, it hopes to shut down the more-than-century-old J.H. Fewell Water Treatment plant that currently serves the city. At present, Jackson has two water plants. But it believes that repairing leaks will allow it to shutter the Fewell plant and switch focus to the newer O.B. Curtis facility. Henifin said the Curtis plant is expected to meet the water needs of the city when repairs are complete. The funds are part of a $600-million federal appropriation that Jackson received for water upgrades in the fiscal year 2023 spending measure. EPA said that Jackson could be eligible for even more federal dollars. City officials said a more detailed expenditure plan will be coming soon.

Windsave

Windsave Ltd., established in 2002, is a dynamic Scottish company within the Renewable Energy sector. The company are focused on developing micro generation solutions for domestic and commercial properties. The Windsave System is a small wind turbine generator system, which uses low wind speeds to create electricity. nnThe Windsave System uses the company's technology, which generates electricity supplementary to the national grid supply, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources; benefiting the environment, and helping to lower domestic electricity bills and CO2 emissions. nnMany people have the desire to protect the environment; the company's challenge from the beginning has been to turn that desire into action. The company's aim is to enable householders, commercial enterprises and local authorities to move from being mere consumers of energy to becoming important contributors to overall energy requirements. nnThe company's technology has been fully and independently tested by the National Engineering Laboratory and is fully accredited by the DTI under the Low Carbon Building Programme (formerly known as The Clear Skies Programme). It is BS and CE approved.

Vortex Hydro Energy

Vortex Hydro Energy is a company that received a STTR Phase I grant for a project entitled: Havesting Hydrokinetic Energy Using Vortex Induced Vibration and Fish Biomimetics. Their project will transition an innovative 1-5 kW energy generating system from the University of Michigan (UM) Marine Renewable Energy Laboratory (MRELab) towards the commercial market place. The system is based on a system of cylinders that are made to oscillate by water currents at velocities as low as 1-2 knots (water turbines require 5-7 knots). It is through this mechanism that the converter harvests the hydrokinetic energy. This project, if successful, will yield a new means of harvesting energy from low velocity currents. Additionally, this system is believed to have fewer impacts on aquatic wildlife than turbine based systems.

P
Peregrine Power

Peregrine Power is a company that received a SBIR Phase I grant for a project entitled: Universal Utility/Customer Interface. Their research project will lead to an electrical panel with modules that provide interfaces between the electrical grid and the residential customer's on-site loads and other energy systems. Through the use of interactive solid state meters, the utility will be able to intelligently regulate loads and dispatch on-site energy systems. The on-site energy systems include, but are not limited to, controlled loads (e.g., water heating), pluggable EVs, generation systems (e.g., PV panels), and energy storage (e.g., spent EV batteries). The panel and modules represent the most integrated and economic system attempted so far to enable more intelligent energy management and will encourage renewable energy and conservation. In addition, new grid stabilization opportunities will be created for the utility. The proposed approach will use advanced power electronics, along with state-of-the-art communications techniques. The broader impacts of this research are (1) to enable utilities and over 50,000,000 residential customers to implement safe, convenient and economic energy management techniques, (2) to encourage renewable energy, and (3) to provide distributed generation and storage systems that assist the utility in stabilizing the grid. This would lead to more reliable and less costly energy for the customer, along with reduced greenhouse gas.

G
Garbrook Knowledge Resources

Garbrook Knowledge Resources is a company that received a SBIR Phase I grant for a project entitled: Targeted Information Products Built from a Curated Knowledge Base. Their project addresses the problem of integrating advanced computational and curation techniques. Curated knowledge resources are important in fields like genomics, but have not yet made a significant impact in other fields like renewable energy. The purpose of a curated knowledge product is to provide comprehensive, non-redundant, concise, and unbiased information in a field where information is otherwise scattered and hard for users to gather objectively. Garbrook has built an encyclopedic knowledge base, the Advanced Biofuels Resource, to organize scientific, commercial, and policy-related information for the Biofuels community. This proposal will develop automated methods to produce multiple targeted information products from such a resource. For many users of technical, commercial, and policy information, the information landscape is cluttered and confusing. The Internet now contains a wide variety of newsletters, trade association sites, blogs, and other media reports, in addition to scholarly publications, consulting reports, white papers from policy organizations, and government sites. The solution to this problem is not more sites, but a new standard for curated knowledge resources to reduce the clutter. Garbrook proposes to build technology to automatically segment curated matter to establish a comprehensive resource into targeted knowledge products suitable for various sectors of the community. Combining its computational technology and its ability to train agent curators, Garbrook is positioned to build additional knowledge products in the future for topics related to energy and the environment.
