Orange County Sanitation District's (OC San) Power Buildings 7 and 8 at Plant No. 1 utilize two heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units to maintain climate control and humidity for critical electrical equipment. Power Building 7 supplies electrical power to the primary clarifiers and Phys Chem Polymer Station, while Power Building 8 feeds all trickling filters and support equipment. Both buildings' units have reached the end of life.

* Maintain a proactive asset management program
* Comply with environmental permit requirements
* Participate in local, state, and national cooperative purchasing programs
