IT’S HIP TO BE SQUARE Plantation Utilities Department Release Their First Calendar

By Beverly Perkins

In addition to the city’s annual calendar offerings, The Plantation Utilities Department is proud to have released its first calendar. The colorful planner features many photos of various sites and fun facts about the department. It also has instructive information about utilities for each month.

The city’s Parks and Recreation Department has long offered a calendar, but this year Utilities Director Steve Urich wanted to feature some of the details about his department.

There is a graphic explaining how the City’s water system works and details on water main replacements and sewage. For instance, one may find it interesting that “a critical component of the sewage collection system is that there are nearly 150 lift stations located throughout the City. The gravity system collects and directs the sewage to these pump stations, which in turn pump the collected sewage to the Plantation Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).

Residents can also learn about how they can participate in the water conservation program. Through the co-operative program, Plantation residents may be eligible for a rebate of up to $100 for the replacement of an older toilet with a new high-efficiency model. These newer units could save 3-5 gallons of freshwater with every flush saving the planet and one’s wallet. Another function of the department is to maintain the wetlands and other watersheds. This is critical to maintaining a safe and sustainable supply of fresh water in South Florida. To do so, the Biscayne Aquifer recharges through rainwater collection, ponds, canals, and reservoirs. “As a surficial aquifer, the Biscayne Aquifer is highly vulnerable to surface contaminants. Protected wetlands, such as those located at the Plantation Preserves Municipal Golf Course, are possible even in developed areas and help ensure safe drinking water will remain available for everyone.” $15$10 MEAL DEALS!

“If we do our job right, we’re invisible. You turn on your water or flush your toilet and it just works,” Urich often says. “People only think about us when something breaks.”

The calendars are available at City Hall and many recreation centers.
