Strawberry Sipper Water

A summer water beverage made by combining pureed strawberries with cold water, often enhanced with ice cubes for a refreshing taste. It’s typically prepared by blending fresh or thawed frozen strawberries into a puree, mixing it with water in a pitcher, and adding ice, sometimes with mint leaves frozen in the cubes for extra flavor.  It’s a soda alternative, often garnished with fresh strawberries or mint; demonstrated here by Nancy Berger at the University Extension Servce.

Backflow

Large university campuses have complex water distribution system that includes numerous buildings, district energy plants, laboratories and hospitals. Without adequate backflow prevention measures, these systems can become potential sources of contamination for the public water supply, as backflow can cause contaminants such as chemicals, fertilizers, and bacteria to enter the drinking water of the host municipality.
