Sewage Plant Seen Adequate If Fixed Up By Survey

A state health survey at the request of City Manager James V. Fitch reviews the local sewage disposal plant. It finds the plant adequate only with repairs and improved operation. Six steps are outlined: divert storm water, ensure steady flow, upgrade chemical equipment, add a new outlet from plant to creek, consider sludge beds with burning or vacuum filtration, and train operators with daily records. The report concludes the plant can meet current needs with proper maintenance and by limiting storm water inflows.
