Email: lhicks@ucitymo.org Data entered by Jeanne Baker, former Environmental Assistant, City of University City. “Other” Emissions Sectors: Waste Water Facilities Notes:  According to Mr. Litzsinger, “MSD has calculated its carbon footprint as 174,854 metric tons, excluding biogenic carbon emissions. Therefore, this can be translated into a per capita or volume of wastewater treated unit: 0.0010 metric tons [of] GHG emissions per CCF [of] wastewater treated, or 0.1281 metric tons/capita." This is the same data that was provided to Olivette and St. Louis County and used in their GHG emission inventories. Multiplying this per capita value by University City’s 2005 population of 32,885 resulted in the emissions of approximately 4,213 metric tons of COe. 2 Data Sources:  Bruce Litzsinger, Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD). Phone: (314). Email: “Other” Emissions Sectors: Water Delivery Facilities Notes:  Provided the Central Plant’s 2003 electrical use and the number of population served by the Central Plant. Based on U-City’s 2003 population, the energy usage on water was estimated.  “Every 1,000 gallons of water pumped to Kirkwood requires 2.05 kWh of electricity.” 2010-2011 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, City of University City 49
