A detailed case study was conducted on a pressure reducing valve within the City of Montrose water supply system to assess the possibility of installing a turbine/generator unit in place of the PRV to generate power. The pressure reducing valve located on Niagara Road was selected for the detailed case study due to its proximity to a city-owned facility, the Montrose Pavilion Event Center. When a turbine generator unit is installed at this location, water will be directed through the Niagara PRV-hydropower unit to generate electricity.
