How is the Conveyance System?

August 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · California, Conejo Valley, Lake Sherwood, Oak Park, Santa Susana Field Lab, Triuinfo Sanitation District, Ventura County, Water Issues, Westlake Village

I spent the end of last week at a California sewage agency conference.  With the sanitizing of words, it is actually called the California Association of “Sanitation” Agencies, “Ensuring Clean Water for California.”  One of the most interesting sessions was called “New Strategies for Renewing Wastewater Conveyance Systems,” which means, “How are you going to take [...]

I know that a first thought about such a tour might be that it would be boring, but that is not the case!  It is interesting [...]

Economic and Environmental Treatment of Wastewater Sludge

August 6th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Agoura Hills, Conejo Valley, Green, Las Virgenes, Oak Park, Thousand Oaks, Triuinfo Sanitation District, Water Issues, Westlake Village

It is interesting how there is a trend to sanitize words.  Sewage treatment has become wastewater treatment, or we talk about sanitation.  That has led folks to ask me, when I say that I serve on the Triunfo Sanitation District (TSD) Board, where it is that we pick up garbage, and the question makes sense to me, [...]

July 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Conejo Valley, Elections, Lake Sherwood, Oak Park, Thousand Oaks, Triuinfo Sanitation District, Ventura County

Finally!  After years of effort, Triunfo Sanitation District will hold it’s first election for an all-elected board this November! I am so pleased!  Four years ago, one of the reasons I ran for the Triunfo board (and won), was to work to make the board truly represent the residents, by requiring that all five board [...]

Checking Sprinklers

June 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment · California, Conejo Valley, Oak Park, Triuinfo Sanitation District, Uncategorized, Water Issues

A few days ago, I got reminded to check how my sprinklers were performing, when I noted the sprinkler head in the photo no longer extends high enough over the gazanias to have the water reach a dwarf lemon tree a few feet away. A gardener’s work is never done!  So, I looked over the rest of the [...]
