[미국] LA 위생시설, CWEA로부터 ‘우수시설’ 인정받아 

 

LA 위생시설이 캘리포니아 수질환경협회(CWEA)로부터 ‘하·폐수 수집 시스템 및 그린화학 가이드’에 대한 인정을 받았다. 시상식은 CWEA의 연례 컨퍼런스에서 다음달로 예정되어 있다.

 

CWEA는 LASAN을 올해의 대규모 하·페수 수집 시스템(500마일 이상) 수상자로 선정했다. LASAN은 6천700마일의 하수도관과 3억5천만 갤런 이상의 하·폐수처리 시스템을 갖추고 있는 국내 최대 규모의 하수도 시스템을 소유하고 있다.

 

이러한 많은 숫자가 있더라도 시의 하수도 시스템에서 위생하수도(SSO)는 2000∼2001년 회계연도 이후 90% 감소했으며, 지난 10년간 500마일 이상 하수도관이 새롭게 복구되었다.

LA Sanitation honored by California Water Environment Association

 

LOS ANGELES, CA, APRIL 5, 2017 -- LA Sanitation received recognition for its Wastewater Collection Systems and the Green Chemistry Guide by The California Water Environment Association (CWEA). An award ceremony is planned for next month at CWEA's annual conference.

 

 

CWEA selected LASAN as the 2016 recipient of the Collection System of the Year Large Award (Over 500 miles). LASAN owns one of the largest sewer systems in the country with 6,700 miles of sewers and a system flow of over 350 million gallons of wastewater processed daily. Even with those large numbers, Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO) in the City's sewer system has declined by 90% since 2000-01 Fiscal Year and over 500 miles of sewers renewed and rehabilitated over the last decade.

 

The association will also recognize LASAN's Industrial Waste Management Division for the Green Chemistry Guide, which received 2nd place in the 2016 Community Engagement and Outreach category: Project of the Year Small Budget (Under $20,000). The Green Chemistry Guide -- which includes a five-part webinar series -- is a resource that helps manufacturers select environmentally-friendly raw-materials and provides a competitive advantage for companies willing to embrace and implement the principles in the work place. The guide also suggests ways for factories to minimize the harmful waste products that are released into the wastewater stream.

 

"LA Sanitation is honored to receive this recognition from the California Water Environment Association," said LA Sanitation Director and General Manager Enrique C. Zaldivar, P.E. "Our Wastewater Collection Systems division does an outstanding job operating and managing our vast sewer system, while our Industrial Waste Management division, through the Green Chemistry Guide, provide manufactures and factories with valuable information to operate in a more sustainable manner."
