NAUGATUCK A solar panel array on the roof of City Hill Middle School is expected to be up and running in the fall.
The Board of Education on Feb. 11 awarded a contract to WC McBride Electrical for $550,416 to install the solar panels. The Bridgeport-based company submitted the lowest of five bids for the work.
Adam Burkitt, managing partner with Advanced Energy Efficiencies, said 723 panels will be installed on the roof. The work is slated to start May 15. He said construction is expected to finish by August. Officials plan to have the solar panels operational by the end of September, he said.

NAUGATUCK The borough is one step closer to installing a combined heat and power (CHP) system at Naugatuck High School.
The Board of Mayor and Burgesses Dec. 1 voted, 9-1, to enter into a lease agreement with Saulsbury Hill Financial, LLC, to pay for the project. The borough board and Board of Education previously approved installing the system.
Under the plan, four CHP units will be installed in the school’s boiler room. Each unit has a natural gas engine that spins a generator which produces electricity with a byproduct of waste heat. The units will be connected to the boilers via a heat exchanger. The units will work in the first position and the boilers will be secondary.
