West Cedar Street water main line replacement begins Monday
West Cedar Street water main line replacement begins Monday.
Crews will work between the hours of 7 a.m. to approximately 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
During the project, access to the construction area will be restricted and sections of the street will be completely closed while workers are digging.
However, every effort will be made to provide local access to the area when possible.
Parking will also be restricted in the construction zone and residents are asked to park all vehicles away from the area during the day.
At the close of each day, access will be restored to all properties.
The work may cause short-term disruptions to water service.
Individuals in and around the construction zone are encouraged to keep a supply of drinking water available.
Officials ask parents and guardians to warn children about the safety hazard and to have them stay a safe distance from the construction area.
Residents who have questions about this or any Water Department projects can contact department staff at 208-234-6182.
For many California communities, drinking water crisis rooted in isolation
This is not just a problem for people with private wells, like the Garcias.
Across California more than 1.5 million people rely on drinking water from a community system that has a water quality violation that could impact public health, according to an estimate by the state using 2015 data.
The state’s problem didn’t begin on a particular date and even the number of people feeling the impact changes over time.
A further 166,000 people are connected to nearly 1,000 water systems serving just 75 to 300 people each.
There are 310,000 people living in 525 low-income, unincorporated communities in the San Joaquin Valley where water quality problems are common.
Seville, Quintana’s hometown, was among those listed.
But it’s a water system designed to feed the farms of the valley and the cities of southern California, not the region’s rural communities.
If we had safe drinking water that’s money we’d use for our families."
"We’ve always had these problems.
But cleaning up chronically contaminated water in 300 communities will take time and money.

Yemen : more than 1,600 deaths related to cholera
Yemen : more than 1,600 deaths related to cholera.
Published the 06.07.2017 at 16: 35
Keywords : Yémencholéraépidémie The number of victims of the cholera epidemic in Yemen continues to climb.
“This is the worst cholera epidemic in the world,” said the world health Organization (WHO) last week.
The more than 60 years account for a third of all deaths.
This diarrhoeal disease is due to ingestion of a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae.
“In the absence of treatment, death occurs in 1 to 3 days,” said the Pasteur Institute on its website.
More than 14 million Yemenis do not have access to safe drinking water.
Difficulties of access to health care To alleviate this situation, the WHO and NGOS such as Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross sending tons of chlorine to sanitize the water.
A logistical effort important has been made, but people now need to know that they can come here.” It must be said that needs in the country are massive.
ASU grounds crew a cut above the rest
Now he finds himself on the sidelines at Sun Devil Stadium, taking in the football team’s skill development workouts.
Whatever Johnson is doing must be working.
Sun Devil Athletics has maintained one of the top grounds crews in the country for more than 30 years.
"Johnson and his crew are so talented, we always know that our student-athletes will have the finest field in the country to play on."
Grounds Services keeps 3 campuses blooming all summer While the athletics grounds crew manages the university’s playing surfaces, the remaining 640 acres on the Tempe campus are maintained by the hard-working group from ASU Grounds Services.
Jimmy Mastalsz, the grounds supervisor at ASU’s Polytechnic campus, said that because of the location’s unique desert enviornment, it requires plenty of specialized work during the summer.
"We start making sure our irrigation system is working properly in May, and because we’re putting more water on, a lot of those desert trees like to grow faster.
Meanwhile at the West campus, grounds chief Craig Danielson said that its smaller size and location provide some benefits.
But no matter the location, these crews also brave high temperatures to keep the campuses looking good throughout the summer.

Tube passengers face delays as drivers take `water stops´
Tube passengers face delays as drivers take `water stops´.
Tube passengers could face delays because drivers will have to take unscheduled stops for water after being denied access to clean drinking water, a union is warning.
Aslef said frontline staff were being told to wait for their break and use taps after water coolers were removed from locations where drivers change ends to reverse trains on London Underground.
Tube passengers cd face delays as drivers take unscheduled stops for water after being denied access to clean drinking water -@ASLEFunion — Alan Jones (@AlanJonesPA) July 6, 2017 “When your working day is spent in a metal box deep underground, cool clean drinking water isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity,’ said Finn Brennan, Aslef’s organiser on LU.
“Transport for London rightly reminds passengers to carry water with them in hot weather, but at the same time they are taking away the facilities where drivers can get water from during their duties.
“The inevitable result will be that drivers will be forced to take additional unscheduled breaks to avoid the serious dangers of dehydration.
This will mean trains stuck in platforms and additional delays for passengers right across the Underground network.
“It beggars belief that senior TfL management think it’s ok to treat train drivers like this and are utterly careless of the impact on their passengers.”
Maryville teen helps Peruvians get ‘absolute basic human necessity’ – water to drink
As a part of Engineers Without Borders, the Maryville resident, 19, traveled to Peru in May to build what he had researched for months prior: A solar desalination unit to provide clean water to a rural village of roughly 200 people.
It’s got salt in it and the desalination process takes salt out of it so communities can drink it,” Highlander said.
“It’s difficult for them to provide for the water needs of themselves … it’s not like they’re using it to shower or wash hands or anything like that — it’s literally absolute basic human necessity.” To alleviate some of the town’s burden on its water supply, Highlander engineered a system that allows people to use seawater after the salt has been sifted from it.
One, because it makes it a little more foolproof, but two, I hope the communities can replicate it in the future,” Highlander said.
Connor Highlander Caitlin Lally “Down in the country … I worked a sort of Peruvian 40-hour (work week) making wind turbines.
“The ones that have the most impact are the projects that are related to water — to bring clean water to the communities, because without water, there’s no life,” Luna said.
In fact, Luna said the chapter has taken on a new clean water project.
However, Engineers Without Borders doesn’t only offer aid to foreign countries.
“We also help here locally, when we’re not traveling, in North St. Louis,” Luna said.

WHO conducts a training of trainers to strengthen the capacity for NTD control, elimination and eradication in South Sudan
WHO conducts a training of trainers to strengthen the capacity for NTD control, elimination and eradication in South Sudan.
Juba, 5 July 2017 – The World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH) of the Republic of South Sudan conducted a Training of Trainers (TOT) on preventive chemotherapy (PC) for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).
The three-day training was held at Regency Hotel in Juba from 29 June -1 July 2017 and brought together 16 participants from 5 out of the 10 States namely former Northern Bahr-el Ghazel, Lakes, Western Bahr el Ghazel, Central Equatoria, and Warrap States.
The main objective of this TOT, was to strengthen the capacity of State and County PC NTD Managers in preparation for the upcoming Mass Drug Administration (MDA) in their respective States.
According to the PC-NTD mapping exercise carried out in South Sudan with support from WHO in 2016 and earlier by other partners, these diseases are endemic in South Sudan and have been targeted for elimination and eradication by 2020 in-line with the World Health Assembly and AFRO Regional Committee resolution 2013.
The most affected population are the poor rural communities with already limited access to basic healthcare services, lack of access to safe drinking water, poor road network, flooding and limited access to disease prevention and control measures.
WHO is working with the government and partners, to accelerate MDA targeting all accessible mapped endemic counties and advocating for financial support to map the remaining unmapped counties.
Speaking at the training, Dr Raphael Mawien Mawien, Director General Warrap State, commended efforts by WHO in supporting the PC-NTD TOT and in implementation of the country’s road map to reduce the burden of the Neglected Tropical Diseases.
Mr Liyosi reaffirmed WHO’s commitment and continued support to the government and the Ministry of Health to achieve the elimination targets of PC-NTDs in the South Sudan and the Africa Region in general by 2020.
The Mass Drug Administration in South Sudan will be officially launched later in July 2017. WHO and partners will provide the required drugs and support the whole process of the MDA exercise in 5 States of Northern Bahr el Ghazel, Lakes, Western Bahr el Ghazel, Central Equatoria and Warrap, while Mentor Initiative and Sight Savers International will support Western Equatoria State.
