The Town of Amherst, in partnership with Elateq Inc., installed a new solar-powered groundwater treatment system that will cut energy use by an estimated 72% and address high iron concentration in the water drainage system. This project, located in the Pine Grove and Hollow neighborhood, will pilot Elateq’s innovative technology while leading to an estimated 80% reduction in operational costs including a 90% decrease in energy expenses for the Town of Amherst. This project is supported by a $67,250 InnovateMass Grant awarded to Elateq Inc. by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC).
