C. Residents money and reduce pollution in our area. News 4s Mark Segraves is here to tell us how d. C. Water is planning to turn our waste into power. Explain the plan, mark. D. C. Water, as you can imagine, 300 million gallons of water goes through the plant every day and a lot of that, tons and tons of it is actually human waste and the debris that falls into our suers and streams and they clean that out and right now they pay a huge amount of money to truck 60 tanker truckloads every day out to be dumped. Now they have created a plant right at d. C. Water that will actually convert all of that waste into clean, renewable electricity and it is just, as you said, a marvel of scientific technology, but it is great for the environment and it is great for rate payers of d. C. Water. It will be great to have them in the nations capital. They do this in europe. Thats correct. They started this technology over in europe and d. C. Water went to europe to watch how this was being done over there. This is the first plan of its kind in the United States and actually the largest in the world that will be converted and pepco, and d. C. Water is pepcos largest customer. Pepco has built a power plant on the d. C. Water campus right next to this conversion plant so all of this will be inhouse and theyll be producing this clean, Renewable Energy every day instead of trucking all of this sludge hundreds of miles away at a great expense and the tractor trailers on the road, they will convert this into clean, Renewable Energy. We said earlier that it will save d. C. Residents money. How much money are we talking about and what about businesses . The projects cost 470 million to do, but d. C. Water pays 20 million a year just to pepco in their electric bill and thats the 20 million a year and rate payers will save money on that whether youre a business and everyone in the region will benefit because this will reseduce the carbon foot print by onethird and the Potomac River and check this out.

Water will mix this with the discarded currency from the bureau of printing and graving. They shred this and mix these together and they will start selling this top soil that is better than any top soil that is currently on the market and d. C. Water plans to make money off of this by selling this new, enriched top soil fertilizer to everybody. Youll be able to have this. Ill be able to put it in my garden tonight at home.
