font-family:Arial'>One of the municipalities we are working with is considering
an ordinance to ban the disposal of all pharmaceuticals to the sanitary sewer.
Does anyone know of any other city, municipality, state or other who has passed
a similar ban? I know there is a lot of concern about pharmaceuticals in
wastewater, but just trying to get a sense of what regulatory action has been
taken on this area.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
