fair all roads will lead to georgetown next saturday wheiv fjsqueslng agrfc letter to the editor september 3 1945 the editor the georgetown herald dear sir the following is a brief general des cription of a proposed sewer system georgetown as planned by the hagey engineering company and presented to the town council in june 1946 this plan has the approval of the ontario department of health the system may be divided into the following components disposal plant trunk sewers lateral sewers and house services the disposal plant would be situated in the vicinity of cedarvale school feeding it would be a m mob pipe which roughly follows the course of the stream a point near the junction of john and mcnab streets the pipe reducing in size to 21 meh and 18 inch from there two hues would branch one following the south side of the ojvjb tracks ibaot and west to victoria and chapel streets the second paaatus under the cnjt subway easterly to 8t michael street two other abort tranfcs complete the trunk sytsem one from twh and joseph streets lnteneotlons and the second from the neighbourhood of water and factory streets tote tlons both empty into the main trunk the section of the town north of the cnjt east and west tracks and east of st michael street cannot be be sewered by gravity and would re quire a pump system which would be situated at a point to which sewage from that whole lowlying district would readily flow it would be col lected there and pumped through a 4 inch force main to the top of the hill such a trunk system divides town into several compact sections each of which would empty into the trunk lines the configuration of the town lends itself admirably to a composed almost entirely of amas sized pipes serving small sections of the town and entering the trunk sys tem at various points analysis of effluent from some in dustries have been made results in dicate that this system would dispose of all industrial waste further the construction is such that no replace ments of sewer pipes would be nciss sary na the town grows they wffl be cultural society presente its 99th nual fan- fair at the park ing the biggest fair yet both from tta standpolnt
