The Benicia Wastewater Treatment Plant depends on the city's electrical supply, as it does not have plans to install renewable energy sources. In the event of a citywide electrical blackout, staff stated the plant can operate for up to thirty days on gas/oil fuel, the burning of which would diminish local air quality. RESPONSE TO FINDING 1. Partially Agree. There is no defined number of days we can run our generator on natural/propane gas during emergency power outages.
