Why is the City of Tempe interested in P2?
Through P2 programs, businesses get into and stay in compliance with environmental laws, improve profits, productivity and become more environmentally friendly. This also helps the City reduce its costs for treatment, reduces interference with the operation of treatment facilities and risk of pass-through of toxic pollutants, prevents violation of water quality standards, prevents POTW sludge contamination, protects the health and safety of the worker, and maintains treatment capacity at the wastewater plants. This in turn saves tax dollars.
