New York wastewater 'not as safe as believed'
Dec 04 2008
According to Digital Journal, recent tests on the water discovered that levels of phosphates and nitrates are above the standards outlined by both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Environmental Conservation.
Both chemicals are harmful to wildlife and fish.
It is thought that the presence of phosphates in the water is due to the use of detergents and soaps featuring the chemical.
As a result, Rich Dunning from the Hornell wastewater treatment plant has urged people in the area to consider using soaps and cleaning products that are free of phosphates.
In other wastewater news, it was announced this week that Manila Water has brought the date forward for the planned construction of a water treatment plant in the Filipino capital.
