Show 0ejeF DDeflonDs There are many problems which confront a city in the transition from individual home and business and public building sanitary waste disposal units to a city owned sanitary san-itary sewer system and treatment plant for the disposal of all sanitary san-itary wastes. Pleasant Grove City, in planning for a sanitary sewer system is facing all these problems. prob-lems. Broadly, when a sanitary sewer is planned it should take care of every home and business house presently constructed in the city, and also be able to serve every new home or building needing sanitary san-itary sewage facilities which will be constructed in the future. At first thought this may not seem too difficult or unreasonable. But, the physical topography of the city, or in other words the various var-ious slopes of the streets, and the number of buildings on a street or within an area, all go to make up various factors such as the size of pipes, depth of pipe lines and the overall cost of the system complete. or go directly into the lake. Every person in Pleasant Grove will have some direct benefit from this outfall line and the treatment plant. It will take away and treat their sewage if they are connected to the system or always be there available for them to use when sewer lines are ronstructed past their homes or places of business in the city proper. Then, to, all people of the city at some time or other use public facilities such as schools, churches, theaters or business houses which are taken care of by the outfall line and disposal plant. Therefore the cost of this part of the sewer system should rightly be participated in by all the people of the city. This is provided for in the Pleasant Grove sewer system by the general obligation bonds which are to be issued. Part two of a sewer system which serves the various individual streets and the houses or business 1 buildings thereon are directly ben-! ben-! eficial to the users on that street and therefore the equitable way to Therefore, any study of a complete com-plete sewer system must take into account all of these problems and offer a solution which will currently current-ly do the maximum amount of good at a cost that is equitably distributed distrib-uted among the people served or to be served, and yet be within the financial means of the people to pay for the facility. Further analyzed a sewer system divides itself into two component parts; (1) that portion which provides pro-vides a definite benefit to all the population of the city, whether it be directly connected to a sewer line or not, and (2) that portion of the sewer system whch serves the individual homes or buildings located along the : streets , where lines of the sewer might be constructed. con-structed. The first component part usually consists of the trunk outfall lines of the sewer and the treatment! plant. Pleasant Grove sewer would consist of a trunk line from the rodeo grounds and the State highway high-way to the disposal plant site, V miles west and miles south and then the disposal plant itself to ' provide both primary and second- ary treatment of the sewage so i that the flow which comes from the plant can be used for irrigation pay for these lines is through service connection charges and monthly service rates. This is the method proposed for Pleasant Grove. To build under this outlined plan it is necessary to plan the size and location of the pipe lines and sewage tratment plant so that the various component units will be large enough to permanently take care of the future anticipated growth or allow for the construction construct-ion of additional units to provide for growth, as it takes place. This has been planned for Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove. The pipe lines to be installed now, are large enough to provide for the growth of Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove City with a 'house on every 60 feet of frontage. Future lines cart be installed when the number of houses in any given area warrants the cost of constructing the lines. The " disposal pTaht' to pTorfiie primary and secondary treatment will be large enough for the present pres-ent population and a 5 year anticipated an-ticipated growth increase. Additional Addit-ional units can then be added as the population continues to increase. in-crease. Provision for the location of additional units will be provided in the layout of the disposal plant. |
