Water on East End
by Sofia Sunseri 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

Dear Neighbors, If you want to express your concern about PWSA's handling of the water situation over the past 24 hours feel free to call Mayor Peduto's Community Affairs office at 412.255.4773 <(412)%20255-4773>. Deb Gross would be an appropriate person to call, as well. Her number is 412.255.2140 <(412)%20255-2140>. Thankfully, this was an issue of a secondary disinfectant not being at high enough levels and parasites were not actually found. The issue here is PWSA's timing on alerting the public. Should this have been a heightened emergency what is their protocol? Why wasn't this announced immediately through the press, social media, employees being knowledgeable of the situation, door hangers, etc...? Keep in mind - PWSA was given the order at around 10 am on Tuesday morning from the DEP.

A quick note--that St. Andrew's and all of us here in the Highland Park neighborhood (and other East End neighborhoods) are included in the Water Precautions Advisory issued by the Water and Sewer Authority on Tuesday afternoon. Routine testing at the Highland Park Reservoir indicated yesterday that chlorine levels had fallen below the levels indicated in EPA water purification regulatory standards. Although no bacterial impurities have been detected in the water supply, affected water customers are advised until further notice to flush their water systems and boil water for use for drinking, brushing teeth, and washing dishes. New purification equipment is being installed at the reservoir, and it is expected that the Advisory will remain in place until the system is restored--probably by the weekend. In the meantime here at St. Andrew's we've covered drinking fountains and placed notices in restrooms. Those participating in any neighborhood or community meetings at St. Andrew's this week are advised to bring bottled drinking water. Bottled water will be used in preparation for the reception following this Thursday evening's service of Choral Evensong. Bruce Robison, Rector St. Andrew's Church, Highland Park _________

Fwd: UPDATE on PWSA Precautionary Flush and Boil Water Advisory for Certain Areas of Pittsburgh
by Jake Pawlak 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

An update from PWSA including additional information on the Boil Water Advisory issued earlier today is below and attached. Jake Pawlak HPCC President ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: PWSA Communications <Communications(a)pgh2o.com> Date: Tue, Jan 31, 2017 at 9:48 PM Subject: UPDATE on PWSA Precautionary Flush and Boil Water Advisory for Certain Areas of Pittsburgh To: PWSA Communications <Communications(a)pgh2o.com> *UPDATE on PWSA Precautionary Flush and Boil Water Advisory for Certain Areas of Pittsburgh* PWSA is notifying the public out of an abundance of caution, and there is no evidence of any bacteria in the system. There is no direct evidence that PWSA’s water is unsafe, but the advisory is required by DEP due to tests showing low chlorine levels at a single test site. Restaurants, schools, nursing homes, hospitals and businesses in the affected territory should also comply with the advisory, by providing bottled water as necessary, and operators should not utilize public water sources (including ice machines and drinking fountains) without prior boiling until the advisory is lifted. PWSA has notified critical medical and public safety institutions in accordance with our Action Plan, and will continue to communicate with the public and local institutions with status updates. On Wednesday morning, PWSA and city crews will coordinate delivery of bottled water to all schools in the affected neighborhoods. In addition, PWSA will coordinate the placement of water buffaloes. Over the last 12 hours: 1. PWSA has taken the Highland Park microfiltration water treatment plant out of service to immediately address the Pennsylvania Department of Environment (DEP) concerns about inadequate chlorination. 2. The Authority installed new chlorination technology at the treatment plant in addition to automated sensors to provide accurate and consistent chlorine monitoring. Over the next 24 hours, PWSA will: 1. Add chlorine in the Highland Park reservoir to address DEP requirements. 2. Continue water quality monitoring to assure we continue to meet safe drinking water standards. 3. Collaborate with DEP to aggressively respond to all DEP technical inquiries, to remove the flush and boil water advisory. 4. Keep the public informed of any developments. PWSA estimates the flush and boil water advisory affects approximately 100,000 customers in the following neighborhoods: - Bedford Dwelling - Bloomfield - Bluff - Crawford - East Liberty - Friendship - Glenwood - Greenfield - Highland Park - Hill District - Homewood - Larimer - Lawrenceville - Lincoln-Lemington - Morningside - Oakland - Point Breeze - Polish Hill - Regent Square - Shadyside - Stanton Heights - Squirrel Hill - Swisshelm Park - Terrace Village - Hazelwood - Garfield *Customers within the impacted area should do the following before using water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice*: 1. Flush your water tap by running water for 1 minute or longer, then 2. Boil water for 1 minute, and let it cool before consumption Flushing water brings in fresh water from the main and boiling fresh water kills any bacteria and other organisms that can enter the water. You can also use bottled water. Customers in this service area are being advised to flush their taps and then boil their fresh water out of an abundance of caution to ensure that drinking water meets or exceeds all state and federal water quality requirements. Impacted customers have been notified by PWSA via automated robocalls. Customers can identify if they are in the impacted area by searching on this interactive map: http://bit.ly/2jSreY6. The boil water advisory will remain in place until further notice. Customers with questions can call PWSA at 412-255-2423 <(412)%20255-2423> or visit pgh2o.com.
