Poison ivy, oak and P9 'yffvr sumac have appeared in city gardens. Poison ivy sometimes forms a beautiful vine up the side of a house. Poisonous oils from these plants can come your way in the smoke of a neighbors trash fire, or on your dogs coat. July 13th Thursday IF YOU can detect poison plants, you can often avoid The north treatment plant operated by the South Davis Sewer Improvement District is one of four sewage treatment plants in the county. Spokesmen for the three sewer districts located in Davis County say there is ample room for expansion. SEWER DISTRICTS By ROSELYN KIRK trict, the growth in the urea coupled with good operation in the treatment plants has been responsible for the drop in the - Three sewer dis-'- " DAVIS COUNTY tricts in Davis County with a total of four sewage plants have the capacity to take care of sewage needs in the county for ,,, When construction began, the South Davis Sewer District received $500:000 in federal funding for each treatment plant and another $500,000 for the installation of the collection system. some years, but managers of the three say that collector lines can be installed only if the district can recoup their costs. THE SOUTH Davis, Central Davis and North Davis Sewer Districts in most cases , received some federal money to aid in the construction of the treatment plants and a portion of the sewer collection systems : Each sewer district was created based on a law authorizing the improvement districts as passed by the Utah State Legislature, each is a separate taxing dis-tnand able to provide services based on ' a property tax levy and yearly rate and connection fee. ' At present, the Central Davis District which includes Farmington, Fruit .V Heights, Kaysville and the unmcorporat-- " ed areas west of Farmington and Kaysville has not extended the sewer lines into the West Farmington area since the district is handicapped by lack of money, Paul DeJong, supervisor of the treatment . ; plant, said. THE FIVE member sewer board establishes priorities based on th' money available to pay for the cost of construction and attempts to provide services to the areas where development is the fastest growing. In recent months residents in the unincorporated West Farmington area have put pressure on Davis County Planning Commission to allow subdivisions in that area to develop, serviced by septic tanks since no sewer lines are presently available. The Davis County health and planners have urged the adoption of an ordinance which would eliminate the use of septic tanks in high water areas like West Farmington. Mr. DeJong said, at this point, The Central Davis Sewer District has no collection system west of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. i , . THE PRELIMINARY surveying for a sewer line in the West Farmington area has been made by Elwood Neff, district engineer. The district would like to see a sewer line placed in that area, but at this point, developers and residents have not put the pressure on the central district sewer board, to make this happen, he said. The Central Davis Sewer District has an additional problem in that the contour of the land also would require a pumping station which would increase the cost of installing the lines. The 1977 district levy was 2.5 mills. THIS LEVY compares to a 1.7 mill levy for the North Davis Sewer District which serves eight cities in north Davis County and Roy in Weber County. According to Floyd Erickson manager, that sewer district, which was created in 1954, serves, Clearfield, Syracuse, West Point, Clinton, Sunset, Layton, East Layton and Kaysville. A small area annexed by West Point, west of West Point and Clinton, is not sewered because it is too low to be served by the North Davis Sewer District without being pumped. West Point has applied for a federal grant to sewer parts of the city which are not now sewered, requesting a $817,657 grant. Mr. Erickson said the North Davis Sewer Board does not favor pumping because it is more costly. The district was engineered so the gravity flow would tarry all sewage to the plant where it is treated before draining into the lake. THE ENGINEERING of the collection system for the district is mainly based on gravity flow, but one pumping station has been built in noith Centerville west of the freeway and two more are being planned north of the existing pump station Mr. Wheelwright said an additional pump station will probably be required west of W'lxids Cross by Skypark Airport. The South Davis Sewer District serves the areas of North Salt Lake, Bountiful, West Bountiful, W'oods Cross and Centerville, in addition to the unincorporated Val Verda area and an unincorporated area between Farmington and Centerville. The two plant capacity is now over 5 8 million gallons which allows an additional 2 million gallons for expansion. TREATED WATER, which musl meet EPA standards, discharges into Farmington Bay from the North plant and into the Jordan River from the South plant. Mr. W'heelwright said all discharge water is leased to irrigate farmland prior to reaching the bay and river. Water from the Central Davis Sewer District is also leased to farmers for irrigation purposes in the atea surrounding the plant at 2(727 West Shepard Lane. MANAGERS OF all three sewer districts said that the installation of septic tanks was a waste of money. According to Mr. Lrtckson, Septic tanks may work for two or three years, but its throwing money away to depend on long time use The septic tanks may last, but th' drain fills will fill up so the septic tank does not continue to function He said that outside of city limits there are only about 20 homes in the North Davis area which are too far from sewer lines to be connected Controls on sewage systems are placed on residences by the cities and b the Davis County Board of Health According to Mr. Erickson, it is costly to subdividers to provide drains, storm drains and sewer lines but homeowners can't borrow money on FHA loans when these facilities are not available. MR. WHEELWRIGHT said that in the south end of the county developers have been stopped front building win te there are no sewer lines in the area He said the biggest unincorporated area in the south end which is still unsewered is at 400 North 1100 West near West Bountiful. About ten houses are in the area and sewer costs would run about $80,000, he said In most cases sewer ousts are paid by the developers, while controls are set bv the municipalities. The county planning commission can deny some building due to the resident's inability to meet health standards, but that board does not have the control over building in unsewered ateas until a groundwater ordinance is established Mr. DeJong said that the Conti a! Davis Sewer District handles the sewer lines after they leave the city limits until they teach the treatment plant. Usually developers put in the lines, and the district inspects them and requires improvement if necessary. He said the Central Davis District would like to develop a sewer line in the West Farmington area. Since the water table is high, making a good drain system difficult, septic tanks me not the answer, he said 1 he problem is compounded since water lines have not been installed and all homes must get their water from wells The combination of septic tanks, wells and high ground-wate- r is unfeasible, he said. The treatment plant now handles two and one half million gallons per day, but is designed to handle six million gallons. Only additional lines are needed to serve the unsewered areas. ALL OF th e sewer districts are governed by sewer boards which in all cases are made up by a member from each city within the district, appointed by the mayor and the city councils Mr. Wheelwright said the South Davis District board, which meets twice a month must approve the expenditure of $500,000 THE TREATMENT plant, located at Syracuse, could treat twice as much sewage as the 12 million gallons a day that are treated at the plant. At the present capacity, the plant could handle 19 million gallons and, with additional facilities, could expand an additional 9.5 million gallons. The sewer district treatment plant and ponds are located on 30 acres and the district has purchased an additional 25 acres between the plant and the lake. 4252 West 2200 South in THE SOUTH Davis Sewer District which was created in August 1959, has constructed two treatment plants. The north treatment plant and office was built in Jan. 1962 and is located at 1800 West 1200 North, West Bountiful, while the south treatment plant, which was built six months later in August 12, is located at 2500 West Cudahy Lane, North Salt Lake. The South Davis Sewer District levied 3.6 mills property tax in 1978, less than the 3.7 levied in 1977. According to John Wheelwright, manager of the dis- - PH levy. ' districts , yearly.
