The city's nineteenth century mill area remains functional and competitive, although at a disadvantage because of high energy costs. Lewiston's mill area is compact and serviced by a mill canal system. To some extent a district heating system exists at present and there is a tradition of cooperation in such efforts. The canal system offers opportunities for an expanded distribution system and for waste heat storage. Lewiston has identified a proposed service area consisting of a ring of industrial uses surrounding a mixed residential/commercial neighborhood. It has studied heat and steam demand and sources, such as gas, oil, coal, and wood pellets, and has identified municipal solid waste and wood waste as the best potential sources.
