Annual Blue Thumb Awards program is tomorrow at Dallas City Hall

 

What:             Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) Pretreatment Program will recognize local industries that are in compliance with wastewater discharge and reporting requirements with the 2011 Blue Thumb Award.

A total of 70 industries will receive Blue Thumb Awards.  Among them are three five-year consecutive award recipients and one 10-year consecutive award recipient. In addition, the Dallas Water Utilities recognizes Pollution Prevention (P2) efforts by permitted industries. This year, seven permitted industries will be honored for their P2 efforts and accomplishments.  

“It’s important to recognize the many local industries that discharge into the City’s sanitary sewer system for their excellent compliance records,” said DWU Director Jody Puckett. “Their compliance is helping to improve water quality standards and reduce costs.”
