It’s no secret that the US water infrastructure is falling apart, yet there are no funds available for long term fixes. Water managers must fight for funds to provide more permanent trenchless water main rehabilitation on their aging waterlines. Trenchless technology allows for a much less expensive alternative for pipe lining repair. Safe drinking water should be a top priority for all Americans, yet they take it for granted.

Grease removal devices (GRD) are the 21st century solution to the ongoing restaurant grease issue.

Restaurants must be environmentally as well as financially responsible for their restaurant grease waste. The sanitary sewer cleanups should not be a taxpayers burden.

see http://www.greasetrap.ca for the environmental impact of restaurant grease.
Best Kitchen Practices for Responsible Grease Management are also listed.

]]> Comment on Wednesday Headlines: Sewer Project Set to Begin in SW Va. by Mark http://waternewsupdate.com/2008/04/30/wednesday-headlines-sewer-project-set-to-begin-in-sw-va/#comment-1224 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:39:40 +0000 http://americansforpurewater.wordpress.com/?p=51#comment-1224 I think it’s reasonable to not serve free glasses of water in restaurants. Times have changed and people are now accustomed to pay for bottled water, water dispensers, water filtration,etc. Why should a restaurant be any different? It will help conserve water if restaurants charge for a glass of water.

Best Drinking Water
