From the Montrose Daily Press (Kati O’Hare):

About a year ago, Project 7 installed a hydroelectric system at its Montrose County water treatment facility. A year later, the savings and energy credits are adding up. Two hydroelectric generators started moving the plant’s electric meter backwards in September 2009, and the system was running 24/7 in December. “I am just more than pleased,” said Dick Margetts, Project 7 manager.
