During #BlackHistoryMonth, we’d like to acknowledge Hugh Mason Browne (1851–1923), who invented a machine that trapped sewer water and stopped it from flowing back into a house. We use this sort of device in Pittsburgh, called a backflow preventer, to this day!

The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority will save more than $100 million because of a record-breaking loan from the state.
@ORMorrison reports the money will help pay for a backup system for Pgh's drinking water. The current well is nearly 100 years old. wesa.fm/environment-energy/2…

Thank you @VP @SecFudge @EPAMichaelRegan for visiting Pittsburgh. Your comments recognizing Pittsburgh as a model reflects the dedication of numerous community members, leaders, and public servants who want a thriving, safe, healthy city for all.
Today I am in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with @SecFudge and @EPAMichaelRegan to meet with community members who have been impacted by lead pipes and paint. Thanks to our Administration’s historic investments, we are on a path to replace all lead pipes in America.
