PLAT OF THE LAKEVIEW SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Pursuant to the promts of the Ex
aminer last week the following nap
of Lakevlew showing the outllna of
the proposed sewer system la printed.
By careful study of thla map It will be
Mlly aeen through which atroeta the
main eewere will be built. Although It
ta very Important to remember that
the aeptlo tank and main eewere will
be built lam enough to take care of
tb entire town. And all that will be
neoeaaary to build will be email linee
to serve any other portion of the town
aa It builde op. When the ayatem la
constructed a connection for every
bouse along the line from the main
aewer to the property line will be ne
eeaaary ao that property owners them
elvea will have to build only from the
property line to their house to connect
with the system. The disposal works
are located In the aoutbweat corner of
the race track property which is about
one quarter of a mile outside of the
city limits.
Included in tne following plana la
largo concrete aewer to take the plaoe
of the old wooden flume on Canyon
atreet which would have to be built
next year at a coat of from S3000 to
IGOOO.
The Coat
The estimated ooat of the entire
system Including the aewer to rv place
the wooden flume will not exceed $75,
000. Tola will be paid for by bonds Isau-
i d by the town, as the work progresses
and the money needed.
When completed If tb work coate
less than t76,000, bonds will be issued
only for the exact cost of the ayatem,
and onder no circumstances can more
than 175,000 be issued. The bonds will
not be du ontil twenty years after the
date they are lasued. Tbey will bear
aix per cent Interest ao that for the
next twenty years only the Interest on
the bonds will have to be paid. This
Interest eannot exceed 14,500 per year.
Tbe Interest will be raised by taxation
and at the present valuation (of tbe
property of tbe town It will amount
to about S4.50 per year per $1000 of as
sessed property. As the town grows
and new buildings put op tb assessed
valuation will naturally increase and
tb tax rat decrease.
There la on misapprehension in re
gard to tbe proposed sewersge system
that should b settled oner for all, and
that la tb amount of water for tbe
flushing.
Tb amount of water needed in any
aewerage aystem Is dependent entirely
and aolely upon th grade of the aewer
and tbe size of tb pip used. Tb
six of tb pip is imoortant only in
that it should be small enough to give
depth to tbe flow of sewage. It abould
be evident to anyone that a aewer can
be built upon a grade steep enough
that It will produo a velocity high
enough to carry away anything that
can get into it This is not a theory
but a demonstrated fact, for instance,
from experiments that have been car
ried on for many years, with a sepe-
rate sytm as proposed for Lakevlew,
that if tbe grade of a six inch pip is
as steep aa 10 feet in 1000 feet or an
eight inch pip with a fall of aa much
as seven feet per thousand, etc., that
such a aewer will require no flushing.
A boot 99 per cent of all sewage la
water and tfiere will probably b a
bigber per cent of water than in a res
dental town like Lakevlew.
Oet of about 40,000 feet of proposed
sewer in town, only about 80,000 feet
will he on a grade leas than that re
quired for a self-cleaning velocity, and
this will b at tbe extreme lower end
and tbia portion will require a amall
amount of flushing daring theory sea
son. Tbia will require atout eight
manholes to be filled six or seven
time dunngtbe dry season and sud
denly discharged. One manhole will
bold about as mwb ss four ordinary
bathtubs. A steady stream of water
flowing in tbe aewer would be of litU
or no benefit for flushing, but a quan
tity most b discharged under tb
bead' to be of any service.
Lakevlew is fortunate in the fact
that ber sewers ean be built upon
slopes steep enough to prodoee self
cleaning velocities which will require
little or no flusbing. This explanation
is made for tbe benefit of those who
may have honestly thought that sewer
age system would require such a quan
tity of water for flusbng as to cripple
ne present water service.
