饮用水

• Source

  • 菠菜网lol正规平台 receives it's drinking water supply from San Jose Water Company.  For more information regarding the source of our water supply, including annual water quality reports, 请浏览 San Jose Water Company 水的质量 网站. 

雨水

• 径流

  • Storm water runoff is excess water that does not percolate into the ground, usually due to large amounts of sustained precipitation, such as atmospheric rivers. 物 flows over impervious surfaces and accumulates debris, chemicals, sediment or other pollutants that adversely affect water quality. Typically, stormwater does not go to a water treatment facility and ends up depositing pollutants into the nearest waterway, killing wildlife, destroying ecosystems and contaminating drinking water sources. 菠菜网lol正规平台 is committed to reducing runoff pollution by implementing operational Best Management 措施(bmp). 

    Stormwater, especially during winter months, has led to sizable impacts to campus 操作. To report leaking, flooding, stormwater damage, runoff pollution, or damage caused to facilities from any recent storm(s), immediately call the FD&O电话线 at (408) 924-1990.

• Best Management 措施(bmp)

  • 菠菜网lol正规平台 employs a number of BMPs to improve stormwater quality that includes: street sweeping, storm drain cleaning, storm drain filters, zero waste campaigns and recycling 项目.

    菠菜网lol正规平台 has a comprehensive Landscape Master Plan to reduce overwatering, prevent runoff and reduce fertilizer and pesticide use. The landscaping staff conducts inspections of its irrigation system frequently and a team of licensed operators carefully apply fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides only when absolutely necessary. 这个计划 means less fertilizer use, modest herbicide use and limits pesticides to use indoors, with little opportunity to affect stormwater quality.

    Additionally, 菠菜网lol正规平台 adheres to its Hazardous Materials 业务 Plan (HMBP) and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), which prevents any stormwater exposure to chemicals, oils and fuels.

• Complaints Process

  • City of San Jose Stormwater Program

卫生下水道

• 健康的下水道

  • 
    One of the best ways to protect 菠菜网lol正规平台's sewer system and prevent backups or overflows is to make sure that items like gloves, plastic bags, rags, cloth, feminine hygiene products, diapers, etc., don't go down the drain and aren't flushed down the toilet.  These items should be placed into regular trash bins. 

    Another key comp一个nt of healthy sewers is to properly manage the disposal of fats, oils and greases (FOG).  Fats and oils should not be poured down any drain as they will solidify in the plumbing and cause a backup. 

    菠菜网lol正规平台 has developed a detailed guide for food services on how to best manage Fats, Oils and Greases on campus.
