Show Wastewater Plant Will Hold Open House in Sept. Mr. Garland Mayne, wastewater superintendent, has scheduled the week of September 27 as an "Open House" for residents of the city to visit the plant and facilities and to become better informed of the operation of the plant and the problems being faced by the city in the operation of the facilities. The problems of growth and overload will be explained and the possible alternatives will be discussed. The new state and E.P.A. standards for wastewater effluent will be summerized and the difficulty in meeting these standards will be explained. The new city sealing and televising unit will be on display as well as the recently acquired jet sprayer used to clean the sewer collection lines. Local citizens are encouraged to visit the plant during this week to become better informed infor-med about the present and proposed treatment facilities. The importance of being informed in-formed is enforced when the city residents consider that in the not to far future they will be asked to vote for a bond issue with the bond proceeds being used to upgrade the wastewater treatment facilities to meet the new water quality standards.
