CB TECH President Issues Statement: PFAS Contamination in Drinking Water

(Photo: Business Wire) The seeping of chemical contaminants into drinking water has grown at an alarming rate.
Making recent headlines are perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyls, known as PFAS chemicals.
PFAS’s are often a result of run-off from military bases, civilian airports, industrial plants, and fire training sites.
Yet water filters available on the market are not always effective.
No single technology addresses all contaminants that may be present.
What is required, is a hybrid approach incorporating multiple filtration technologies to address the widest possible range of contaminants.
This provides the highest proof of performance and provides consumers an effective means of comparing one filter to another.
Many contaminants are odorless and colorless.
With PFAS contamination an EPA priority, a wide-range, high-quality certified filter is well worth your health and the health of your family.
Its technology has been widely utilized by hospitals, major universities, laboratories, restaurants, foreign embassies, and millions of consumers.

Drought or Not, PG&E Assists Farmers With New Water Management Technology

In support of Gov.
Jerry Brown’s call for all customers to make water conservation a new way of life, even as he declared the official end to the current drought, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is announcing new water management tools for agricultural customers.
These supplies will continue to be a challenge for the state.
That’s one reason why PG&E is working with Wexus Technologies to enable conservation of both water and energy, through an energy management software system that is now available to agriculture customers.
Wexus remotely connects pumps, buildings, PG&E electric SmartMeters and water flow meters via cloud technology.
"Water conservation and energy management go hand-in-hand.
We’re glad to be working with PG&E to make water and energy conservation a way of life.” PG&E will continue to work with the agricultural community to manage water and energy use through a variety of existing programs and incentives.
PG&E agricultural customers have saved more than 538 million kilowatt hours and 19 million therms of energy through the company’s energy efficiency programs and rebates since 2011.
That adds up to more than $81 million dollars in rebates in the last six years, since the recent drought first began.
