Help celebrate World Water Day
Worldwide, over 80 percent of wastewater from homes, cities, industry and agriculture flows back to nature without being treated or reused. This action not only pollutes the environment, but also is a waste to valuable nutrients and reusable resources.
Wastewater treatment facilities work to recover these resources and nutrients, while protecting the environment from contaminants. Concord General Services’ wastewater treatment facilities treat about 4.3 million gallons of wastewater every day. Wastewater is reclaimed through natural biological treatment. The water is then disinfected and recycled safely back into the Merrimack River. Advanced filtration of wastewater has improved river quality, especially for the Merrimack River. The Merrimack River was one of the most polluted rivers in the country until the Clean Water Act in 1972 that provided strong initiatives to restore water quality.
Wednesday is World Water Day, a United Nations initiative to celebrate water and advocate for sustainable management of resources. This year, the theme is to reduce and reuse wastewater. Concord General Services is inviting the Concord community to celebrate World Water Day by learning more about wastewater and to consider alternative actions to recycle water and minimize use. A simple action you can take is to use less water to generate less wastewater. Upgrading household fixtures to water-efficient fixtures instantly conserves water, reduces wastewater volumes and can save you money.
