The school will no longer rely on municipal water and is instead pumping water from a borehole filtered through a filtration system and pumped into the two tanks.
Similarly, the 150 solar panels will generate power for the school.
“We are very excited about the project,” said Schoultz.
At the unveiling were representatives of the school, its governing body, Power4Less and members of the Department of Education.
