Ocean Sewage Alliance

A new report by Back to Blue and the @OceanSewage Alliance has claimed that a 'staggering' amount of losses are being generated each year as a result of poor sewage and wastewater treatment across Brazil, India, Kenya, the Philippines, and the UK. 🌍 sustainabilityonline.net/?p=9744

What’s the true cost of untreated wastewater? Polluted rivers and oceans strain health systems, deplete food sources, and leave individuals with medical bills and lost wages. The UK’s ageing sewer systems are making things worse. How can we fix this? backtoblueinitiative.com/the-scourge-of… An initiative of Economist Impact and @NipponF_pr Wastewater study jointly supported by @OceanSewage

Access to safe sanitation is a human right, yet many rural Black communities in Alabama still face the devastating consequences of inadequate sewage systems. 💧 @InsideClimate highlights the ongoing fight for sanitation equity 👉 ow.ly/VbcA50TQ4MO #StopSewagePollution

The San Diego's cross-border sewage crisis was once just a water quality problem polluting rivers, oceans and beaches. Now scientists are transforming our understanding, that it may too be an air pollution crisis as well. voiceofsandiego.org/2024/09/20/sci… @voiceofsandiego

OC water agencies continue to receive national recognition for our proactive approach to PFAS!🙌 Yesterday, @NPR did a segment with YLWD & water industry leaders who showcased their initiatives & compliance with state + federal PFAS regulations. 📻 buff.ly/3zkmrdX

💩 Keep It Clean! Contamination can occur when a septic system leaks due to improper maintenance. Be sure your drinking water is safe to drink by testing it regularly. #SepticSmartWeek #SepticSmart @EPAwater Watch How: youtu.be/Tz6wx8kmr_A?si…

💩 Protect It and Inspect It! Regular septic system maintenance can save homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs and protect public health. #SepticSmartWeek #SepticSmart @EPAwater Watch How: youtu.be/4eyrh4zY4ok?si…

💩 Shield Your Field! Tree and shrub roots, cars, and livestock can damage your septic drainfield. #SepticSmartWeek #SepticSmart @EPAwater Watch How: youtu.be/Q4bTQ0PQiJA?si…

💩 Don’t Strain Your Drain! Use water efficiently and stagger use of water-based appliances. Too much water use at once can overload a system that hasn’t been pumped recently. #SepticSmartWeek #SepticSmart @EPAwater Watch How: youtu.be/om4mwk5VGN0?si…

💩 Don’t Overload the Commode! A toilet is not a trash can. Disposable diapers and wipes, feminine hygiene products, coffee grounds, cigarette butts, and cat litter can damage a septic system. #SepticSmartWeek #SepticSmart @EPAWater Watch How: youtu.be/mcYAubOSEvc?si…

💩 Think at the Sink! What goes down the drain has a big impact on your septic system. Fats, grease, and solids can clog a system’s pipes and drainfield. #SepticSmartWeek #SepticSmart @EPAwater Watch How: youtu.be/fIWoB2QtBvY?si…
