BERLIN — The city will be issuing a request for proposals for municipal solar projects on as many as five different sites on public land.

Working with Berlin Water Works, City Manager James Wheeler said the top site is the Brown Farm Site at 85 East Milan Road. Wheeler said the site has two relatively large power users in the wastewater pumping station and the Brown Farm well. He said the city does not use the well as a water supply because of the high cost of power compared to the gravity-fed Ammonoosuc water treatment facility. The city owns about seven acres there that is in a wellhead protection area.
