Energy conservation initiatives underway at Rolla City Hall

The City of Rolla is implementing the first phase of a comprehensive energy program to increase energy conservation measures at several City facilities and operations. Technicians with Retro Tech Systems began installing new energy efficient ballasts and fluorescent lights on the third floor of Rolla City Hall (Administration Department) on Monday, Sept. 20.

The new energy efficient lighting is part of an extensive energy conservation contract the City entered into with Siemens Technology. Retro Tech Systems will be working through the end of October at the following locations: Rolla City Hall, 901 N. Elm Street (Sept. 20 – Sept. 27); Rolla Fire & Rescue Headquarters, 1490 East 10th Street (Sept. 27 – Sept. 29); Rolla Fire & Rescue, Fire Station #2, 400 West 4th Street (Sept. 29 – Oct. 4); Rolla Police Headquarters, 1007 N. Elm Street (Oct. 4 – Oct. 6); The Centre, 1200 N. Holloway Street (Oct. 7 – Oct. 25); and Southeast Treatment Plant, Hwy. 72 (Oct. 25 – Oct. 28). Disruptions should be minor.

A new roof will also be constructed at the Rolla Police Department. If you have any questions regarding these energy improvements, please contact Steve Hargis, Director of Public Works, at 364-8659.
