I love this #community #education effort H2flow, a song for #cleanwater sponsored by #EBMUD East Bay Municipal Utility District. Especially the line "skip the #plastic 'cause we can tap tap tap the #cleanwater from the tap, just like that"

@otiswhite Many years ago I got very excited about the system at #EBMUD diverting food waste to co-process with sewage in biodigesters with harvested and burned biogas on site. Still seems pretty smart to me. https://www.cwea.org/news/lessons-learned-on-co-digestion-operations-at-three-facilities/

I NEVER open (or respond to a knock/ring at) my front door for anyone I am not expecting to visit me.

So, this is NOT a problem for me. LOL!! 😉

EBMUD has issued an alert following reports from customers who received visits at their homes by individuals pretending to be EBMUD representatives. Keep these tips in mind to determine if an individual is an impersonator or a genuine EBMUD employee. https://alamedapost.com/news/alert-beware-water-agency-imposters-door/

As of October 1, EBMUD began enforcing its updated Residential Non-Payment Policy. Mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft explains what this means for residents who are behind on payments and shares resources for assistance. She also encourages Alamedans to stay up-to-date on COVID vaccinations.

Now that the Oakland Inner Harbor Crossing is complete, the old pipeline will be used to bring recycled water to Alameda for industrial and irrigation purposes. Kelsey Goeres attends the agreement ceremony between EBMUD and the USACE as Alameda takes a step towards increased drought resiliency.

Kudos to the city of #Alameda and #EBMUD for investing in water recycling!

This will be a KEY technology in the path to water #sustainability.

Here's hoping other cities follow Alameda's lead!

"Misleading the public is not right." Landscaping projects at Alameda Landing feature signs declaring the property is "Irrigated with Recycled Water." Richard Bangert points out that this is a logistical impossibility.

EBMUD commits to an even greener energy policy which will reduce the output of greenhouse gas emissions in both the water system and the wastewater system.

EBMUD is repurposing old pipelines to deliver recycled water to Alameda for irrigation, and Richard Bangert explains that it's critical to extend these lines to Alameda Point's vulnerable wetlands. "Without the supply system in place in the near future, important seasonal wetlands will likely be destroyed."
