Tig, Australian SHepherd needs a good home!
by Susan Hudachek 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Hello, my name is Tig. My birthday is April 5th 2018 so that means I am 9 months old. I currently weigh about 45lbs and am a purebred Australian Shepherd and was purchased in August. My family already had 3 other dogs and although I love all my siblings and do my best to make friends with them my one brother just does not like me very much. My family also has a kitten that I am ok with I do like to keep a watchful eye on him but if he don't bother me I wont bother him. I am up to date on all my shots right now but I have not been neutered yet. I am a great family dog and love my mommy's brothers ages 10 and 11 but I think I would do great with all kids. I do have a habit of getting super exited and jumping on people but with a little work from a family who will love me I will do my very best to learn my manners. I am pretty much fully potty trained as long as you keep up with me. I like to go out every 3 to 4 hours when your home with me but I am crate trained so if you need to go to work just put me in a crate and I will wait for you to come home. My family loves me very much and have shed many tears thinking about having to say goodbye to me but they are doing what is best for me. So if you wish to be my new family please at least make a promise to me that you will send my old mommy lots of pictures and updates. Also my sister who is 2 days older than me and who also happens to be my best friend would like to be able to visit me if possible. I do have a small rehoming fee if your interested in being my new family please give my mom a call. 412-225-4810

18 Jan '19

Hello, I have a very nice, Men's Size 38 S (Small), wool/cashmere blend, dress coat, that I would like to sell. The color is black. I purchased it as a gift for my dad, and it's never been worn. After he passed away, the coat came back to me. My dad was 5'3", and it fit well when he tried it on. Please see the pictures and contact me with any questions. I am asking $200 or B.O., since it is new. Theresa

PWSA Releases July 2019 Lead Compliance Test Results
by Monica Watt 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

[http://r20.rs6.net/on.jsp?ca=205de1c3-8adb-4683-bbe4-6e7986a947fd&a=1127550…] [PWSA Logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 18, 2019 Media Contact: Will Pickering (412) 657-4031 wpickering(a)pgh2o.com<mailto:wpickering@pgh2o.com> PWSA Releases December 2018 Lead Compliance Test Results Pittsburgh, PA – The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) released results from its most recent compliance testing for lead required by state and federal regulations today. Samples were collected by customers from homes that were determined to have, or are expected to have, lead service lines or plumbing. The latest round of testing does not reflect PWSA's progress<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hLPA6yfgg804_WN1qwKEVpReAjbLKdqdP1bbaKtS5NpI…> replacing lead service lines. Homes where lead lines have been replaced are not included in the sampling pool. PWSA received one hundred and sixty-one (161) samples taken from July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. The results were analyzed by a third-party laboratory and calculated to determine whether 10 percent of the total samples exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lead action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb). The 90th percentile results from the latest round of testing were 20 ppb, which is above the action level. According to EPA, there is no safe level of lead. Residents should continue to consider the recommendations provided by PWSA to reduce exposure to lead. The 90th percentile is not an average of the presence of lead across PWSA’s water system, but rather a calculation to determine if 10 percent of the worst-case scenario sites that were sampled exceeded the lead action level. PWSA will repeat this testing every six months. Eighty five percent (85%) of the samples analyzed in this most recent testing round were below the EPA lead action level. The details of the December 2018 compliance testing results are as follows: · 73 have a lead concentration of less than 5.0 ppb · 51 are between 5.0 and 9.9 ppb · 13 are between 10.0 and 14.9 ppb · 6 are between 15.0 and 19.9 ppb · 15 are between 20 and 49.9 ppb · 3 are higher than 50 ppb Compliance testing results comparison: [https://mlsvc01-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/a3e01478601/cc1200f6-2598-424e-babf-e…] PWSA’s Community Lead Response<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hLPA6yfgg804_WN1qwKEVpReAjbLKdqdP1bbaKtS5NpI…> is focused on reducing lead exposure to all customers. As part of a consent order and agreement with DEP, PWSA has replaced over 2,825 lead service lines since July 2016. To reduce the health risks of partial lead line replacements, PWSA is offering no-cost private lead line replacements at homes across the city when replacing the public lead service line. The Authority's 2019 replacement program is budgeted at $49 million and is expected to replace over 3,400 lead lines. PWSA estimates approximately 15% of homes in its drinking water service area have lead service lines. For homes not included in the neighborhood-based replacement program, PWSA is also offering no-cost private lead line replacements for households with an income at or below 250% of the federal poverty level ($61,500 annual income for a four-person household). Funds for this program are available from a settlement of an enforcement action between PWSA and DEP. In addition to locating lead lines and replacing them as quickly as possible, PWSA will begin adding orthophosphate to the treated drinking water in early spring to reduce corrosion from lead pipes. A rigorous year-long study demonstrated that orthophosphate can reduce lead levels in PWSA’s drinking water. It has also been used successfully by numerous major cities to reduce corrosion from old lead service lines. “We've seen that the 90th percentile results of compliance testing are variable. Our team is working diligently to reduce the risk of lead in water by applying orthophosphate and rapidly replacing the lead lines in our system,” said PWSA Executive Director Robert Weimar. “We recommend that customers take advantage of our free water test kits and visit our online lead map to help determine if they’re at risk for exposure to lead,” he continued. As the Authority identifies the location of lead service lines, it is notifying residents directly and making the information available to the public on a searchable online map at pgh2o.com/leadmap<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hLPA6yfgg804_WN1qwKEVpReAjbLKdqdP1bbaKtS5NpI…>. In addition, PWSA continues to offer free lead test kits to its drinking water customers. According to EPA, there is no safe level of lead. Residents should continue to consider the recommendations provided by PWSA to reduce exposure to lead. Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Although most lead exposure occurs from ingesting lead paint, dust, or lead contaminated soil, EPA estimates that 10 to 20 percent may come from drinking water. If residents know or suspect they have lead service lines or plumbing, they are encouraged to reduce exposure in drinking water by using the following recommendations: · Run your water to flush out lead. If you haven’t used your water for several hours, run your cold tap for at least one minute before using for cooking or drinking. Homes with longer lead water service lines may require flushing for a longer period of time. · Use cold water for cooking and preparing baby formula. Lead dissolves more easily in hot water. Do not drink, cook with, or make baby formula using hot water. · Do not boil water to remove lead. Boiling water will not reduce lead. · Look for alternative sources or treatment of water. Purchase a water filter that is certified by NSF<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hLPA6yfgg804_WN1qwKEVpReAjbLKdqdP1bbaKtS5NpI…> to remove lead. Coupons for NSF-certified filters can be found here<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hLPA6yfgg804_WN1qwKEVpReAjbLKdqdP1bbaKtS5NpI…>. Customers can also choose to drink bottled water. · Identify if your plumbing fixtures contain lead. There are commercially-available lead check swabs that can detect lead on plumbing surfaces such as solder and pipes. Consider having lead-containing pipes and fixtures replaced. · Contact PWSA if you decide to replace your lead service line. Depending on household income, customers may be eligible to have their lead water service line replaced at no cost. · Test your water for lead. Go to pgh2o.com/leadform<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001hLPA6yfgg804_WN1qwKEVpReAjbLKdqdP1bbaKtS5NpI…> or call us at 412.255.8987 to request a free lead test kit. · Get your child’s blood tested. If you think your child may have been exposed to lead, talk to you doctor about testing your child. Allegheny County requires all children to be tested for lead exposure at approximately 9-12 months, and again at 24 months. Many American cities face similar challenges posed by old lead infrastructure. PWSA is committed to working with our community to identify solutions to reduce the risk of lead exposure.

"Walk on By" @ The East Liberty Library
by Bruce Robison 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

"Walk On By" Artist Reception Friday, January 25th 3 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Meet the artists! Walk on By is a multi-disciplinary art experience that highlights the lives of homeless men and women in the Pittsburgh community and sparks dialogue about the issues surrounding homelessness. Walk on By is made possible through Future Tenant’s Trespass Artist Residency program and a donation from the SPROUT Fund. It is also supported by local programs that serve the needs of the local homeless community including The Homeless Advisory Board, Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, Community Human Services, the Homeless Children’s Education Fund, and Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania. The Artist Reception for the "Walk On By" art show will be on Friday, Jan 25th from 3 - 4:30 PM at the East Liberty Library, main floor, 130 S Whitfield St 15206. The mission of "Walk on By" is to encourage interactions between the housed and the people sitting on street corners--whom they “Walk on By.” Join us for light refreshments, an art show scavenger hunt and crafts as well as a chance to talk to some of the artists featured in the show. "Walk on By" has traveled to over a dozen area libraries in the past two years. Local artists, housed and homeless, contributed works in a variety of media expressing their understanding and concern for the homeless in our region.
