Stimulus pushes efficiency

The federal stimulus package expected to be signed into law by President Barack Obama Feb. 17 directs that at least 20 percent of the $2 billion dedicated to drinking water infrastructure be used for “projects that address green infrastructure, water or water efficiency improvements or other environmentally innovative activities…” to the extent that there are sufficient eligible project applications.

Has your water system ever had a backflow incident?

Backflow is when water flows in the opposite direction than intended.  Under backflow conditions, contaminants may enter the drinking water supply through unprotected cross-connections.  Sometimes the contaminant is confined to the customer’s plumbing system.  Other times the contaminant may enter the distribution system.

Storing Water

• Store one gallon (about 4 liters) of water per person per day. Have enough water on hand to last at least three days. As long as disinfected tap water is stored in a clean, airtight container in a cool location, it should remain safe indefinitely.
• Store water in quality food-grade plastic containers instead of glass. Avoid paper containers that will weaken over time.
