AF Sewage Plant Modification, ansion A $163,050 sewage plant modification modi-fication project is now complete, giving residents of the community commun-ity one of the most modern disposal dis-posal plants in the state of Utah. The plant Is now operating at extended ex-tended capacity as a complete MAA4M4Mtr hlant vHfH Kirn rwf nary and secondary treatment acuities. The effluent from the plant enters en-ters Utah Lake as 'Class C water, meeting the strict standard stand-ard requirements of the Utah Water Pollution Board. Funds for the project were provided pro-vided on a matching funds basis, with the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration paying some $52,000 of the project costs. Other funds were used from cash on hand, with no bond issue required re-quired to finance the needed project. pro-ject. Alder-Child Construction Co. was prime contractor in the major ma-jor expansion project, with work completed in 150 working days. The contract for the project was signed July 26, 1965. The capacity of the sewage disposal dis-posal plant is now equipped to handle up to 15,000 population, and is so planned that with slight modification on the disposal plant W W capacity can be greatly in creased. The basic treatment plant was modified and expanded, with plant capacity more than doubled. Prior to the expansion, the capacity capac-ity was between 7,000 and 8,000, including the training school residents served by the sewage collection system. The plant served approximately 4,000 persons when it was construct ted in 1953. New main office facilities were enlarged, adding new pump location, loca-tion, change room facilities, a new plant laboratory, central chlorinating system, and central control panel location. Every aspect of the sewage plant has been enlarged, upgraded, upgrad-ed, and improved. The various projects were completed as follows. fol-lows. Grit structure, which utilizes the most modern system available, avail-able, $27,000; addition to central cen-tral control building, including pumps, electrical systems, heating heat-ing and mechanical equipment, $54,000; automaticparshall flume and controls to measure and meter water flow, $2,300; addition to digester control building, build-ing, including electrical, mechanical and piping in control building, $17,400; construction of new digester building, plus ap-pertenate ap-pertenate piping, $45,000; relocation relo-cation of gas burner, waste gas valve and control system, $2, 600; yard piping, complete, including heating and steam lines, $5,000; tnew sludge beds, adding more than double capacity of original units, $5,300; new electrical lines and work in olant yard. $2,100: blacktoDDlne and sidewalk for en- 4a una arffh aanh nn ffnnnoA-1 Mil a v, niw vnvu iuui vvuuwv ted by blacktop and walkways, $1,850; and Installation of fiber!

The buildings have been painted, with blacktop-ping blacktop-ping and walkways adding a unified uni-fied appearance of the plant buildings. build-ings. One of the Important features of the project is the forward looking look-ing planning,' which has eliminated elimina-ted several expensive, cumbersome cumber-some operations at the plant. Installation of automatic chlorinating chlori-nating equipment assures adequate ade-quate chemical content at all times. The new plant laboratory permits the plant operator to make various chemical content tests and obtain immediate results re-sults and make proper mechanical mechan-ical adjustments. Delays were previously encountered as results re-sults of tests were occasionally not returned for several weeks. The plant operator works closely with the Utah State Department of Health and city officials express ex-press their appreciation for the cooperation of this state agency in maintaining best possible results re-sults in operating the local plant. Throughout the plant, the piping is carefully painted and color coded, permitting speedy location of trouble, should repairs be necessary. In brief, the plant will be utilized util-ized as follows: raw sewage enters en-ters the plant through main collection col-lection lines and is run into a grit chamber, where air is pumped into the grit chamber restoring oxygen to the sewage. The new grit chamber is extremely efficient, utilizing an advanced method of breaking down solids. The flow is then routed to the primary clarifier unit, where liquids and solids re divided and solids are rout- Intermountain Farmers Assn.

Following this process, the liquid li-quid is flowed over weirs and flows down to Utah Lake as "Class C water. The solids which were routed to the first digester are heated to 90 degrees and enzymes continue con-tinue to break down the solid matter. Solids are then taken from the first digester info the second digester, where the final bacterial treatment continues. Completely digested materials are then placed in the sludge beds to dry. Field drains under the sludge beds return all liquids from the drain field back into the plant. Undigested materials, liquids li-quids from the drain field and some partially digested materials mater-ials are then returned back to the primary clarifier and rerouted re-routed through the entire disposal dis-posal plant again. The dried digested material is a valuable by-product of the plant, and has been recommended for fertilizer use for lawns, and other agricultural use, with the exception of fertilization of row crops.

It's based on combined action by the citizen as a volunteer and by the government-together. . Nowhere is this partnership between the volunteer and the government more vital than in the fight against the nation's second biggest killer-cancer. Even the huge sums being spent by the government on research became available in part because of the pioneer prodding and initiative ini-tiative of the volunteers who make up the American Cancer Society. A president of the United States put it best once on the eve of the Cancer Crusade when he said: ''Partnerships like this between the people and the na tional government are Indeed the heartbeat of this effort." So too with much of this service serv-ice programs to ease the burdens bur-dens on cancer patients and their families. The partnership between be-tween the volunteer and govern-ment-on local, state and national na-tional levels-is the key to better bet-ter execution of this humanitarian humanitar-ian endeavor. The scientific community is convinced that the ultimate conquest con-quest of cancer is inevitable.

I The American Fork Dry Creek four and one half million dollar project was approved by Congress Con-gress and authorized for construction con-struction by the Soil Conservation Conserva-tion Service in 1959. Approximately Approxi-mately 50 per cent of the overall over-all four and one half million cost, is local participation. The North Utah County Conservancy District was organized by the people to help finance the local cost as well as to handle operation oper-ation and maintenance In future years. Loren Spencer, Project Engineer, and Gerald Hansen, Work Unit Conservationist, both With the Soil Conservation Service, Serv-ice, have worked closely with (he watershed committee to help them with installation. ; The 118,710 acre watershed Is about 74,000 acres mountainous area and 44,000 valley land. About 58,000 acres of the mountainous area is within the Uinta National forest. About one-half of the valley acres are good irrigated land Thriratef shed work plan provides for stabilization of crit ical areas through the use of special purpose terraces, contour con-tour furrows, gully control, range seeding and deferred grazing. Four large floodwater retarding structures were included to help prevent damage to farm land, irrigation canals, cities and roads.
