Gives Cost of Pollution Control
Kansas City officials estimate pollution reduction of the Missouri River by 85 percent at about 13 million dollars for present pollution. Earlier estimates ranged from 40 to 70 million for full sewage treatment for current and future lines. There are no trunk sewers east of the Blue River, with 15 million dollars needed for lines and facilities. The Missouri Water Pollution Control Board banned sewer extensions pending solutions. The council weighs an ordinance to allow 1100 feet of new sewer to serve about 20 houses despite the ban.
