The Santo Domingo Tribe’s endeavor to seek a solution to the high electricity costs for the operation of the drinking water pumphouse was made viable through the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Indian Energy grant program for the installation of 100,000-watt photovoltaic (PV) solar power system. This source of alternative renewable energy was and is imperative to the Tribe in identifying a solution to off-set the costs of the Water Pump and Treatment Facility (WPT). The Tribe has a great interest in continuing their development of a model for future energy saving projects that will greatly eliminate or reduce costly electric utility bills and save the Tribe money.
