Town of Richmond Municipal Infrastructure Inventory and Alternative Technology Analysis

Yellow Wood Associates, Inc. worked with the Town of Richmond, Vermont to inventory and assess municipal infrastructure assets and provide options for future investment based on a comparative analysis of alternative technologies versus conventional technologies in six primary areas: alternative fuels for town vehicles; stormwater source reduction options such as alternative paving regimes; a retrofit of its town building for increased energy efficiency; more efficient pumps and motors for a planned upgrade to the wastewater treatment plant; and repair and replacement technologies for water and wastewater pipes.
