Sewer plan favors leaving old lines and new main in Auburndale
City engineers McCabe and Anderdale report to council on Potwin Auburndale sewer conditions. They urge building a new sewer main in Auburndale due to scarce city water supply, while recommending replaning the Potwin sewer with a large main and keeping existing Potwin laterals in service for a time. Auburndale may join a separate district to share costs for a new main upriver as other areas pay sewer taxes. Some losses noted in Auburndale sewer, with efforts to address objections and operation details begun.
