tile ncy system and has in structed hou eholdcro anywhere in town to hook into the system the following is the complete ext of mr hageys report the following is a synopsis of what was invoked in the construc tion of your sewerage system in cluding your two pump stations and the disposal plant the contract for the entire pro ject was awarded to scottjackson construction limited of new tor onto in april ol 1017 and work uai commenced in july of that year and dllgently and continuously carried out from that time on even throunh the winter months the subsoil conditions were so various- and changed so quickly that many different types of equip ment hud to b- brought into use to cope with situations as they were encountered and it was fortunate indeed that the contractors equip ment wag so extensive many changes were made by the engineers in conjunction with the council in order to eliminate the necessity of opening up trenches on the streets in the business section this was accomplished only through the cooperation of the various own ers tenants and all person in volved and it cannot be too strong ly stressed thai the cooperation was excellent in this manner it was made pos sible to eliminate many sewers from the streets and construct them in tho rears of dwellings either on existing lanes or by easements the entire business section was thus saved the inconveniences that al ways occur in this type of con struction tn order to serve wartime hous ing project no 1 and relieve a very serious ueptic tank condition there it became necessary to change the system on guelph st and construct a pumping station on project no 1 the authorities of central mortgage cooperated in the changeover and contributed the ad ditional cost of this change the system is purely sanitary and is not designed to take care of storm water and consists of lines ranging in size from eight inches 8 to eighteen inches ib the disposal plant is located on the westerly bank of the creek several hundred feet south of the girls school this type of plant is known as high rate trickling filter and is designed to take care of a population of at least six thousand 0 000 persons it consists briefly ind in se quence in the order of treatment firstly a pump station equipped with a comminutor to chop up any rag etc and dual automatically controlled pumps which lift the sewage to a sufficient height to allow it to flow by gravity through i all the remaining stages of treat- ment to where it finally enters the creek as ap almost purified effluent the next stage after being lifted 4uuk jind flows from olcre to tho final scdimcntatlbrt tank where it u treated exactly as in the primary tank the effluent from this tank now highly purified rum to the creek if there is not sufficient effluent coming into the head box at any time to provide sufficient head to operate the filter then by float controls sufficient effluent is aut omatically pumped back from the final sedimentation tank to operate the filter tina ij controlled from what is called the return pump building adjacent to the pump station o w hat is called the contiol build ing is located the sludge digestion tank which again is a cylindrical reinforced concrete link which i directly connected by pipes and a series of valves to the iloppei ends of the primary and second- u y sedimentation tanks and a sludge pump in the control build ing after the floats hae cleared the deposited sludge to the hop pers the sludge pump is started and the sludge pumped to tho sludge digester the inside of the digester is lined with hot water coils which emanate from a boiler in the con trol building in the course of time the sludge in the digester commences to digest and gives off quantities of gas which is piped to the gas furnace and heats the wa ter which circulates in the digester heating the sludge and assisting in the digestion when the sludge is digested it becomes inert and gives off no fur ther gas and is in the lower portion of the tank samples are taken off which is made possible by various valves and the portion which is digested is pumped out by tho same sludge pump onto sludge dry ing beds located adjacent to tho control building here the sludge is dried and usually is disposed of readily either by sale for fertil izer or by allowing people to cart it away the sludge when properly diges ted is odorless and does not consti tute a nuisance the sludge beds are contained between reinforced concrete side- walls which are filled with graded sand and broken stone when the sludge is deposited on the beds the liquid filter through the filtering material and is caught in troughs georgetown make recreation survey mayor joseph gibbons seated what the people of georgetown
