Phil Breinza, fleet operations supervisor for Lewiston Public Works, carries a hose used to take waste oil from its vehicle fleet to the new Clean Burn furnace that heats the garage at 103 Adams Ave. “On average, in the city’s maintenance garage alone, we generate 1,235 gallons of waste oil per year,” Louie Turcotte, Public Works facilities manager, said. “For every gallon of waste oil, we will save on our volume of natural gas consumption,” he said. The waste oil furnace will also save the cost of disposing waste oil every year, Breinza said. Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
