The District said Douglas County PUD's "Rural Energy Efficiency Program" awarded it $120,565 last week.

The funding will help replace outdated fluorescent lighting throughout the station with high-efficiency LED fixtures and upgrade the original three-phase apparatus bay furnaces with a modern heating and air-conditioning system.

The District adds the improvements will reduce energy and improve reliability, which will create a more sustainable future for the district and the community.
Work should begin in 2026.
