all terms being tossed around at the
SCM Consultants Field Construstain
office in Irngon
SCM Consultants is the engineer
ing firm hired by Irngon in the late
‘7 0 's after the Oregon State Health
Division declared Irngon an "immi
nent health t h r e a t " to the
underground water supply Several
cases o f hepatitis broke out in the
south end of Irngon due to con
laminated water
Until the Rapid Infiltration Basins
and Small Diameter Gravity Sewer
System is complete in July, the
residents o f Irngon will he inconve

" W e realize this is an inconvc
nterw c," said l>eon Lindhlonm.
Construction Adminstration Group
manager for SC M . "hu t. we are
here to help"
" W e have already re routed one
lateral sewer line on Third Street to
minimize inconvenience to the pro
perty owners in that a re a ," he
added.
Existing septic tanks will he
modified to accept the filtering
system, and then will be connected
to the new service line
Any existing steel septic tanks will
be replaced
"S te e l tends to corrode.** said
Lindbloom
Out o f the three-hundred septic
tanks to he serviced, approximately
two-hundred will require new vcp
tic tanks to meet the Department o f
Environmental Quality standards,
according to Lindbloom
The expense is covered by the
$99 8 ,3 0 2 bid awarded by the city o f
Irrig o n
to
the c o n tra c to rs.
Fabricators, Inc o f Salem
The contractor, by specification,
is required to replace turf, landscap

Butch' Dixon check to see how the installation of a trunk line
is coming for the new Irrigon water system__________ _
conventional sewer sy stents often arc
not economically feasible because of
the high costs o f installing the co l
lection sewers
Small diameter
gravity sewers developed out o f the
need to reduce the costs of central
sewerage
They were first used extensively
in Australia
Although they have been used in
other parts o f the world since 1961,
and have proven much levs costly to
construct and maintain than convcn
tional sewers, it's considered an In
novativc Alternative Technology
project in the United States
Because the Rapid Infiltration
System and Small Diameter Gravi
ty System is considered an In
novative Alternative Technology,
the city of Irrigon will receive ap
proxtmatcly $7(X1.(XX) from an EPA
grant
