Local Sanitary Survey Nears Completion in Washington
Consulting engineer C. H. Hurd reports the sanitary survey of Washington water sources will end Monday with a full recommendations report to the state board of health within weeks. Assisted by son Edwin, Hurd oversaw sampling from 125 wells and Hawkins Creek sections, totaling up to 5000 determinations. Possible recommendations include moving the intake pipe or redirecting Hawkins Creek's flow to White River below the pumping station, amid discussions of sewer system needs, constrained by current taxes.
