 Pima County hits vaccination milestone
Pima County hit a major milestone this week in the fight against COVID-19. Seventy percent of adults 18 and older now have received at least one dose of the vaccine. We still want everyone who is eligible for the vaccine to get fully vaccinated, so don’t tempt fate and wait. Roll up your sleeve and get vaccinated today!
Wastewater not screwing around with sewage removal
The new screw that’s arrived at Pima County’s Tres Rios Water Reclamation Facility isn’t one you’ll find at your local hardware store.
The county’s new Archimedes screw, which is used to move raw sewage to a higher elevation for processing, is 46 feet long, 8.5 feet wide and weighs more than 43,000 pounds. One screw pump is scheduled to be online next week. Two other screws are being replaced next year.
