Summary:
The filtration division staff is responsible for mowing the grass at the water treatment plant
and the north standpipe location. In an effort to meet CARP goals, the Evanston Municipal
Operations Zero Emissions Strategy staff is retiring gas-powered equipment that has reached
the end of its useful life with electric-powered equipment. The gas-powered lawn mower that
is being replaced is approximately 20 years old. The new EV lawnmower is a ride-on type
that is replacing the existing gas-powered one. Staff have already replaced one gas-powered
walk-behind lawnmower with an electric walk-behind lawnmower during 2023. Two additional
gas-powered walk-behind lawnmowers will be replaced with an electric option in 2025. All of
the smaller gas-powered equipment, such as leaf blowers and trimmers, have already been
replaced with battery-powered/electric options.
