World Toilet Day: why safe sanitation matters Today, on World Toilet Day, we highlight the critical need for access to safe and clean toilets. While many of us take this resource for granted, 3.5 billion people worldwide still lack safe sanitation – a basic human right recognized by the United Nations. Without safe sanitation, over 80 % of wastewater flows untreated into water sources, putting people and the environment at risk. We are committed to membrane solutions that increase access to safe water and sanitation for underserved communities. Let’s work together to protect human rights and our planet – because everyone deserves access to clean water and safe sanitation. ➡ Check out our 3 facts about sanitation and wastewater treatment! #MannHummel #CleanerWater #Wastewater #SafeSanitation

The most significant source of lead in your drinking water is the water company service line that supply water to your home.

For half a century, the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act has been safeguarding the water we rely on every day. As we mark this milestone, let's continue the legacy by protecting our source water. Together, we can ensure clean, safe drinking water for generations to come. #ProtectTheSource #SafeWater50Years #SourceWaterProtectionWeek #miawwa Tell us: What actions do you take to protect our water sources? Share your tips and inspire others to make a difference!

Any idea how many gallons of water a newer toilet uses? How about one that's older than 1992? The answer: 1.6-1.28 gallons vs. 3.5 gallons. That might not sound like a big difference, but it can add up quickly - especially for schools and businesses with many fixtures. Newer, more water-efficient toilets can actually save you in the long run. Reach out to our WEES team for more info: https://lnkd.in/g-We5H2B. #WorldToiletDay is a good reminder of how glad we are to be able to flush and know what goes down the drain will be treated safely (thanks to many of our clients who treat wastewater). Helping our communities save water for their future is just a small way to show our gratitude. #WeArePlummer #ConserveWater

Also called “eternal pollutants”, #PFAS are non-degradable, persistent, mobile, toxic and bio accumulative. Contaminating surface and groundwater, including drinking water, they negatively affect the environment, animals, and humans. @Calgon Carbon Corporation’s - a @Kuraray company - recent study demonstrates that the #MultipleHearthFurnace (#MHF) technology combined with a Flue Gas Abatement (FGA) unit, is perfectly suited for the full removal of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (#PFAS) from end-of-service-life Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) during its reactivation. GAC is widely used and well‐established for the removal of contaminants from #DrinkingWater and #Wastewater, and is reactivated in a thermal treatment once it has reached the end of its service life and became so called “spent carbon". A large portion of the close to 100 % destruction of the PFAS compounds contained in the spent GAC occurs in the #MHF furnace itself. @John Cockerill’s #NesaCore™ Multiple Hearth Furnace (#MHF) technology is suitable for both the production and reactivation of #ActivatedCarbon. For the reactivation process, our #NesaCore™ furnace technology heats the activated carbon to temperatures of >900°C under a strict controlled atmosphere, and thus allows to efficiently desorb and remove PFAS from GAC. With its advances thermal treatment solutions @John Cockerill proudly supports the #EcologicalTransition and #CircularEconomy. => https://lnkd.in/e-sRRzHW #WeAreJohnCockerill #MultipleHearthFurnace #PFAS #ActivatedCarbon

In 1908, the Jersey City Water Company was in court trying to collect $7.6 million to build one of the largest drinking water systems on the East Coast. But there was a problem: the water wasn’t always safe to drink. The judge in the case wanted the company to cover the cost of a sewer system to protect the water supply. Physician Dr. John Leal recognized that a sewer system would do nothing about runoff contaminating the reservoir. Instead, he proposed a radical idea: the use of what most people thought of as a poison—chlorine—to treat a large municipal water supply. Though chlorine's bacteria-killing qualities were well established, its use in water treatment had been limited to small applications to counteract disease outbreaks. The Jersey City Water Company banked on Dr. Leal’s idea and proved what is now considered one of the most significant life-saving advancements ever. Suppose you want to read the fascinating story, including how many thought Leal’s idea was criminal. In that case, the book “The Chlorine Revolution: Water Disinfection and the Right to Save Lives” is available through the American Waterworks Association: https://ow.ly/ls1M50TrPFj #Innovation #CleanWater

👓 Discover how we help the SOUTH ADAMS COUNTY WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT (SACWSD) treat #DrinkingWater for Commerce City, Colorado area with approximately 66,000 residents. 🚿 #WaterHardness poses challenges for both businesses and consumers, often leading to appliance malfunctions and reduced water heater performance due to calcium carbonate buildup. To address this issue, SACWSD utilizes Actina™ to effectively combat buildup directly at the water source while capitalizing on waste #pellet reuse. 👉 Download the case study to know more: https://lnkd.in/exzckrKg

The City of Cottage Grove is currently building a $39 million water treatment plant to remove #PFAS from drinking water. There are also plans to build a second treatment plant in 2027. https://hubs.la/Q02YVGTF0

When assessing an escape of water peril, the BDMA has traditionally referred to three categories that will indicate which procedures should be followed to ensure the property is restored correctly. At Aspray, we have had a number of escape of water claims that have involved sewage, categorised as ‘black water’. This is a particularly high-risk situation, which requires extensive knowledge in decontamination and sanitation, due to the pathogenic material in sewage that can cause harm to humans.
