City engineer James Walker submits a preliminary wastewater treatment plan to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for study. If PCA approves, federal and state grants could cover most costs for a 2 million gallon per day system using stabilization ponds and spray irrigation east of Bemidji with an estimated total near 1.04 million dollars. The plan aims to prevent river and lake effluent, with final construction targeted for 1973 pending approval.
