DELCORA COMMUNITY TIPS: 4 tips to help reduce pollution in our waterways 💧

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? ⤵️
Sewage can carry harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause gastrointestinal illness, skin rashes, eye and skin infections, flu-like symptoms, and other serious health concerns. Sewage discharges also introduce excess nutrients into waterways, contributing to harmful algal blooms that pose risks to public health, damage local economies, and disrupt coastal ecosystems.

DELCORA uses bar screens to remove large debris from the sewage flow that is received from the over 500,000 homeowners, businesses, schools, and industries that we service every day.

We define large debris as items that are put into the sewer system like trash, food, coins, paper, clothing, rags, toys, etc. The bar screens protect the rest of the system from costly damage and are cleaned by dedicated team members every day.
