BE WATER-WISE! Are you using water wisely? California is in its third year of drought and the future of water deliveries from the Delta, the source of at least 80% of Livermore's water supply, is uncertain. Factors contributing to the water supply challenge include efforts to protect endangered fish species in the Delta and climate change. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed a statewide emergency in February 2009 due to drought and asked all Californians to reduce individual water use by 20%. Please do your part by making the most of the water available by using water wisely.

NO DRUGS DOWN THE DRAIN!
Old medications piling up? The City's Water Resources Division and Police Department are hosting a:
LIVERMORE DRUG TAKE-BACK EVENT
Saturday, September 25, 2010
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Livermore Police Department
1110 S. Livermore Avenue
Livermore residents are invited to properly dispose of medicated ointments, lotions or creams; capsule, tablet or liquid preparations; all over-the-counter medications; vitamins and supplements; and pet medications. Keep the medications in original containers with personal information marked out. For more information about the event, call 925-960-8100. Can't make it to the event? Information regarding disposal of medications is available at the Alameda County Household Hazardous Waste at 1-800-606-6606 or visit ww.stopwaste.org, or at the link below. |
While some pharmaceuticals enter the environment via normal human and livestock excretion into sewer systems or waterways, much enters the environment via direct disposal, such as having been flushed down the toilet or poured down the drain. While wastewater treatment does remove and reduce some types of pharmaceuticals, wastewater plants are designed to treat human and biological waste, not complex pharmaceutical chemicals. Because some aquatic species have shown sensitivity to the low levels of medications that do pass through treatment plants, the more medication we can prevent from going down the drain, the better.
