Re:      City of Moscow Press Release

For Immediate Release:

 

City Commission Congratulates Local Business

 

Moscow, Idaho - Moscow's Sustainable Environment Commission extends its
congratulations to Camas Prairie Winery on their recent achievement in
becoming a DEQ Pollution Prevention Champion.  Their efforts in leading
the way towards a sustainable environment are admired and applauded
throughout our City and State, as well as on a national level as
evidenced by Senator Mike Crapo's visit in August.

 

Camas Prairie Winery's success as Idaho's oldest independent winery and
their reputation as a forward thinking company has increased as a result
of their successful application for a USDA Rural Energy Assistance
Program grant for the installation of solar panels which distinguishes
Camas Prairie Winery as Rural Development's first Idaho Solar Project.

 

The company's use of a tankless hot water system promotes energy
efficiency which is estimated to save approximately $1,500 in electrical
and natural gas costs, while the innovative steam sterilization process
reduces water use and saves 75 gallons of chlorine from entering the
City's wastewater system.

 

These efforts, coupled with the winery's choice to switch to bottles
which utilize less glass and therefore use less resources to produce and
lower shipping costs, illustrate why Camas Prairie Winery was a natural
choice as a Pollution Prevention Champion.

 

In recognition of the many great things Camas Prairie Winery has
accomplished and to highlight Pollution Prevention Week, Mayor Nancy
Chaney will be issuing a proclamation highlighting Pollution Prevention
Week.
