Product Description

Berkey™ Water Purification/Filtration systems

How the Berkey Light Operates

Berkey Light water purifiers are the most practical, user friendly and economical water purification systems available. To use, water is poured into the upper chamber. Gravity draws the water through the exclusive Black Berkey® purification elements. Contaminates are captured on and within the micro-porous purification elements and are separated from the water. The purified water then collects in the lower chamber where it can be drawn through the spigot. While in use, the system is joined together allowing the Berkey Light to be transported while it purifies water. This feature is useful when purified water is required in one location, such as in a food preparation area, and later in another location such as a dining area. There is no guesswork when refilling the system because the water level, in both chambers, is visible at all times. The elevated base raises the spigot level, allowing the Berkey Light to be utilized anywhere on a flat surface The shatter resistant Berkey Light is made of high impact strength Non BPA Copolyester. The Berkey Light does not leach foul tasting plasticizers into your water and will not retain foul tastes and odors from waterborne contaminants. The Berkey Light is so powerful it can be used to purify non-potable or unhealthy water in situations where electricity and water pressure are not available. For normal everyday situations or for hostile filtration environments, the Berkey Light water filter is the most flexible and adaptable available. The Berkey Light water purifier provides reliable, user friendly, powerful and economical water filtration and enhances the ambience of any environment.

      Description: The City of Tigard staff and Volunteers will participate in a 5 County Regional Exercise on May 22 and 23 - Tigard Seeks Volunteer “Patients” for Mock Emergency

      Tigard, along with other Washington County jurisdictions, will be staging a mock bioterrorism emergency exercise on Thursday, May 23. During this emergency drill, the city will establish a point of dispensing (POD) station. PODs are large clinics, set up to rapidly distribute medication to a large number of people.

      When: Thursday, May 23, 6– 8:30 p.m.
      Where: Tigard Public Works Building, 8777 SW Burnham St.
      Each volunteer will be treated as a walk-in patient. Participation will take about 15 minutes, and no appointment or pre-registration is necessary. Emergency workers will treat volunteer patients with placebo medication.
      The exercise will measure the city’s ability to:
      § Test its Point of Dispensing (POD) Plan.
      § Communicate and coordinate with fellow emergency responders.
      § Implement Tigard’s Emergency Response Plan.
      § Put newly acquired equipment into practice.
      § Evaluate the current plans, procedures and reporting protocols.
      City services will not be affected by the exercise.
      For more information, contact Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Lueck at 503-718-2593 or mikel@tigard-or.gov
