There were a couple interesting articles in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune this week about the spill this past March that released millions of plastic waste water filtration disks into the Merrimack River. The first article is about the steps they are taking in Hooksett to prevent something from happening again.

The second article is about a gut from Merrimack MA who has picked up 12,000 of the disks on a short stretch of the river.

Sadly, despite the new measures put in place and the cleanup efforts of many I fear we will be finding these disks in and along the Merrimack for years to come.
Treating wastewater is a serious business. That's why as much as possible, people should learn how to conserve water so that treatment plants shouldn't be overload.
