"I was a new manager for the city, and hadn't been involved in the Phase II storm water permit process.  Carlisle/Wortman had the experts we needed.  They produced the necessary documents, delivered them to the DEQ and taught me the basics of the permitting process, leaving time for me to concentrate on other city business."

Waterford Township to monitor and conserve energy
Waterford Township has retained Carlisle/Wortman for up to three years for a monthly energy planning and monitoring contract.  CWA's Zak Branigan will collect monthly energy information (fuel usage data, building natural gas and electrical bills) and use a series of analytical tools to monitor and track the progress of energy-saving measures being implemented by the township.  We also will help the township administer its EECBG grant.
