Fwd: For “Sewer Awareness Month” PWSA Highlights Illegal Dumping in Sewers and Improper Items Flushed and Put Down the Drain
by Highland Park Community Council 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

August is Sewer Awareness Month in the City of Pittsburgh FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 26, 2021 Media Contact: 412-430-3898 For “Sewer Awareness Month” PWSA Highlights Illegal Dumping in Sewers and Improper Items Flushed and Put Down the Drain August is Sewer Awareness Month in the City of Pittsburgh [image: How to Protect Your Pipes] <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013DvK3MsmHHZW4_n-l2W-A5-DO7xf-gJqCE1hlwLH3oD…> Pittsburgh, PA - Earlier this month, Mayor William Peduto signed a proclamation <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013DvK3MsmHHZW4_n-l2W-A5-DO7xf-gJqCE1hlwLH3oD…> declaring August “Sewer Awareness Month” in Pittsburgh. To increase awareness about the challenges facing Pittsburgh’s sewers, Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) is releasing videos and photos about the illegal dumping and improper items flushed down toilets and put down the drain. Will Pickering, CEO of Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, said: “Sewers are often taken for granted. Most people don’t think about what goes down the drain or flushed down the toilet. But when items enter the sewer that aren’t meant to be there, the results can wreak havoc on a neighborhood and be costly for PWSA to fix.” Kate Mechler, Deputy Director of Engineering said: “PWSA is asking everyone to protect their plumbing and sewers by only flushing things that belong in sewers: toilet paper and human waste.” Wipes are sometimes labeled as “flushable,” but wipes, unlike toilet paper, do not break down once flushed. Wipes will absorb fats, oils, and greases that have entered the sewer system, congeal into hardened boulders, and can form major blockages that prevent stormwater and sanitary wastewater from properly flowing through the system. That is why PWSA is asking all residents and businesses to be mindful to put wipes and fats, oils, and greases in the trash <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013DvK3MsmHHZW4_n-l2W-A5-DO7xf-gJqCE1hlwLH3oD…> – not in the toilet or down the drain. Concrete illegally poured into the sewer system hardens, causes backups, and results in expensive repairs that impact all Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority customers. Mechler continued: “We also have a problem with illegal dumping in sewers, and we’re asking all Pittsburghers to report any improper dumping they see at stormwater grates, manholes, or sewer outfalls. Some concrete and cement companies improperly dispose of cement into our sewers. Even if it is watered down when it enters the system, cement and concrete will harden in the sewers and create blockages that causes wastewater to back up into people’s basements or causes flooding on to streets when it rains.” Fats, oils, and grease, wipes, and items illegally dumped into the sewer system also make it more difficult to treat wastewater. Wastewater is sent from Pittsburgh to the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN), located on the Ohio River to treat. Anything other than human waste and toilet paper entering the treatment process can cause equipment to break and introduce contaminants that are more difficult to remove before the water is clarified and released back into the Ohio River. Arletta Scott Williams, Executive Director of ALCOSAN said: “Treating wastewater is the ultimate recycling process - something no one really thinks about. Every day we treat millions of gallons of wastewater that is released back into the Ohio River to become drinking water for another community further downstream. Everyone needs to do their part to provide clean, safe, reliable water.” In addition to the illegal dumping of concrete and cement, PWSA also reports it has found items including hot water heaters, kegs, 55-gallon drums, weapons, and a car axel with four tires still attached in the sewers. PWSA encourages anyone who sees illegal dumping of cement, concrete or any item that doesn’t belong in the sewer, to please call 412-255-2423 right away. Our sewer system is a complex, interconnected network that works hard for every resident, business, and person visiting Pittsburgh and our region. We can all do our part to keep our sewers flowing.

Hello neighbors, On Tuesday, August 31st, please join the 11th Ward Progressives in meeting and learning about Judge David Spurgeon, candidate for the PA Commonwealth Court in this November’s election. Judge Spurgeon will be speaking with us on August 31st on our porch at 5901 Hampton St, starting at 8pm. Though it is an "off year", there are still important elections coming up this fall, and this is one of them! Judge Spurgeon has served in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas since 2016. Assigned to the Family Division, he handles all matters involving children and families. He has been recognized as a national expert on domestic violence and has been named a Judicial Fellow by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges for his judicial leadership. In addition to our historic mayoral race, there are so many important state and local candidates running for office, particularly for the judiciary. Other statewide candidates we are excited to elect in November include Judge Timika Lane https://judgelane.com, Judge Lori Dumas, https://www.judgedumas2021.com, and Judge Maria McLaughlin https://judgemclaughlin.com. As the events of the last year have driven home, electing judges who value democracy and real rights is incredibly urgent. Please feel free to share this invite and bring along any friends who might like the chance to meet, mingle, and learn (https://fb.me/e/S5zeN8It) And reach out if you would like to get involved. We are group of neighbors working to educate ourselves and others about local, state, and national political and civic issues and to elect progressive candidates ( https://www.facebook.com/11thWardProgressivesPgh) Hope to see you next week on August 31.
