Provide Basic Service «*8P' • s '• For Sewage Disposal turned down as overheating of your home dries out the From the Mcijenry County Department of Health One of the basic health j air! And finally/try to keep totafc/ away from others who have colds, avoid crowds as much during cold out* service programs provided by the En­ vironmental Health Division is the private sewage disposal - program. The purpose of this program is to eliminate the transmission of disease organisms and nuisances resulting from improperly or inadequately treated sewage by providing that sewage is discharged to a properly designed and operated waste treatment facility. Approximately SO percent of the homes in ;McHenry county are served by private sewage disposal systems (septic systems), inspections of these systems are made by the Held staff • following citizen's com­ plaints, while making sur­ veys or after receiving a request for evaluation of a system prior to sale of a property. Final inspection and approval of all new septic systems is made by the department prior to issuance of an occupancy permit by the Building and Zoning department. A total of 1,866 private sewage system inspections or evaluations were made in the last State fiscal year. Three hundred twenty-seven "systems were found in 4ailure and required to be brought into compliance. . People living on septic systems should be careful not to flush anything down the toilet that is not biodegradable and should inspect the tank to deter­ mine if it needs to be pumped at least every other year. With the beginning of school, fall is close behind and with fall comes the season of the common cold. People in the United States average three colds a year per person. Cold symptoms generally begin one to three days after the virus gets into your body and includes sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes, aches and pains, nasal congestion and coughing. Although you cannot be immunized against the common cold, there are some things that you can do that might help prevent colds and that can help avoid complications when colds do occur. First, keep up your natural resistance through a nutritious diet, plenty of sleep and exercise. Second, keep the humidity up in your home, the relative humidity should be at 20 to 45 percent. Third, keep your thermostat Isaiah: 53 To Sing Oct. 18 Isaiah: 53, the eight- member contemporary Christian music ensemble, will perform at Faith Presbyterian church in McHenry Sunday, Oct. 18. j tfhe McHenry based group, which has performed at numerous churches, nursing homes and social events throughout the state, features scripturally-based introductions to up-beat Christian music., The con­ cert, which starts at 7:30 p.m. is open to the public.
