Lavis, superintendent of the Utah State Training School, chided as he told of the school's recent annexation by American Fork City. The school was annexed by the city about ten days ago, according to American Fork Mayor Malcolm H. Beck. Immediately work began on redesigning and installing a new sewer line into the facility. The work included tearing up about 2500 feet of roadway leading to the school along 900 East. Carl Hansen, city engineer, said much of the sewer line at the school had been installed at the time the school was built and few employees remember even where the lines are located. "The lines aren't big enough to handle the increased size of the in-stitution over the years, especially with the addition of newly constructed residential facilities," Mr. Hansen said. He noted the original line went into an 8 inch line located on 600 East. This has been redesigned to allow it to go into an 18" line on 900 East, a line which graduates as it nears the sewer plant up to a 36" outfall line. The work is expected to be com-- . pleted this week, weather permitting, Mr. Hansen said. |
