The following announcement was provided by the Watertown Environment and Energy Efficiency Committee:
The Watertown Environment and Energy Efficiency Committee (WE3C) advises the City Council on issues of sustainability and energy use. We work closely with the Sustainability Manager and the Energy Manager to help create policies that will promote our Climate and Energy Plan. Most recently we have been involved in:
- Creating a draft Building Emissions and Reduction Disclosure ordinance (BERDO) that will require larger buildings in Watertown to report their energy use each year
- Developing the Climate and Energy Plan
- Establishing Watertown Electricity Choice (WEC), an aggregate electrical service that provides Watertown with bulk-rate, greener electricity
WE3C helps the City develop programs that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide information to individuals and organizations in matters relating to energy conservation and emissions reduction.
If you are interested in this work, please join us in our monthly meetings to hear what we do and, if desired, participate in the work of the Committee.
Meetings are held via Zoom on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 pm. Agenda and Zoom link can be found on the City website calendar or you can receive announcements and agenda of meetings by emailing mjtrubek@gmail.com and ask to be put on the email list (subject line WE3C). Our next meeting is on September 16, 2024 at 7:00 PM via Zoom.
We will be at Fair on the Square on September 21. We look forward to meeting you!
