<br />"YOUR LETTER.OF APRIL 27TH, 1951 RELATIVE TO A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR SEWAGE
<br />TREATMENT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE.
<br />MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE AND OTHER EUGENE CITY OFFICIALS WILL BE AVAIL-
<br />ABLE TO MEET WITH THE JOINT SPRINGFIELD COMMITTEE AT ANY TIME.
<br />
<br />THE ADDITIONA~ INFORMATION REQUESTED IN YOUR LETTER IS OUTLINED AS FOLLbws:
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />I. WE ARE ATTACHING HEREWITH DATA SHOWING LOCATION, SIZE, PROFILES, GRADES AND
<br />QUANTITY ESTIMATES COVERING THE OUTFALL LINE FROM THE PRESENT SPRINGFIELD OUTFALL TO
<br />A CONNECTION WITH THE EUGENE SYSTEM. COSTS ON THIS OUTFALL LINE ARE ESTIMATED BY OUR
<br />ENGINEERS AS FOLLOWS:
<br />
<br />OUTFALL LINE 24" TO 30"
<br />PUMPI NG STAT! ON
<br />
<br />TOTAL
<br />
<br />$ 222,555.00
<br />55,250.00
<br />277,805.00
<br />
<br />DIFFERENCE IN COST BETWEEN 24"
<br />AND 27" OUTFALL LINE (TO BE
<br />PAID BY CITY OF EUGENE)
<br />
<br />12,350.00
<br />
<br />CITY OF SPRINGFIELD (TOTAL COST)
<br />
<br />$ 265,455.00
<br />
<br />2. THE CITY OF EUGENE WILL CONVEY WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD (UNLESS
<br />TERMINATED BY EITHER CITY UPON THREE YEARS WRITTEN NOTICE) SPRINGFIELD SEWAGE NOT TO
<br />EXCEED I I C.F.S. FROM THE POINT OF INTERCEPTION OF THE SPRINGFIELD TRUNK SEWER WITH
<br />THE EUGENE SYSTEM NEAR 6TH AND HIGH STREET TO THE SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT.
<br />
<br />3. THE AMOUNT OF SEWAGE WHICH THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD MAY DISCHARGE INTO THE EUGENE
<br />SYSTEM AT THE POINT OF INTERCEPTION NOT TO EXCEED I I C.F.S. THIS IS BASED UPON THE
<br />CAPACITY OF THE SPRINGFIELD OUTFALL LINE OF 24" WHICH WOULD AFFORD A POPULATION
<br />EQUIVALENT OF 15,000 PEOPLE, WHICH WE UNDERSTAND, IS THE SAME CAPACITY AS THE PRO-
<br />POSED DESIGN FOR THE SPRINGFIELD SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF
<br />GARDEN WAY ON THE WILLAMETTE RIVER.
<br />
<br />1
<br />
<br />4. THE ANNUAL COST WOULD INCLUDE THE OPERATING COST PLUS 2% INTEREST ON THE INVEST-
<br />MENT OF THE PLANT PLUS 2% DEPRECIATION ON THE COST OF ALL UNITS OF THE PLANT EXCEPT
<br />THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND 7% DEPRECIATION ON THE COST OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. THESE
<br />COSTS WILL BE PRORATED TO THE CITIES BASED UPON THE METERED QUANTITY OF SEWAGE TREATED.
<br />THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES NOT ANTICIPATE SPRINGFIELD PAYING ANY AMMORTIZATION COSTS OF
<br />THE PLANT.
<br />
<br />5. WITH REFERENCE TO #5, WE WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT THE ENGINEERS HAVE NOT
<br />PREPARED ANY PRELIMINARY PLANS, ESTIMATES OR REPORTS ON THE PROPOSED SEWAGE TREATMENT
<br />FACILITIES OTHER THAN THOSE COVERED IN THE METROPOLITAN STUDY.
<br />
<br />THE PLANT WILL, HOWEVER, PROVIDE FOR A RAW SEWAGE PUMPING STATION, GRIT REMOVAL
<br />AND SEWAGE GRINDING FACILITIES, PRIMARY SETTLING BASINS, FOLLOWED BY CHLORINATION
<br />AND SEPARATE SLUDGE DIGESTION FACILITIES. THE SLUDGE WOULD BE DEWATERED AFTER
<br />DIGESTION BY MEANS OF VACUUM FILTRATION. WHILE OUR PRELIMINARY STUDIES INDICATE THAT
<br />SOME SAVING CAN BE MADE BY THE INSTALLATION OF POWER GENERATING EQUIPMENT, FURTHER
<br />INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER WILL NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE FINAL DECISION ON THE USE
<br />OF POWER GENERATING EQUIPMENT WILL BE MADE.
<br />
<br />THE PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE FOR THE COST OF CONSTRUCTING THE SEWAGE TREATMENT
<br />FACILITIES IS APPROXIMATELY $600,000. THE ANNUAL OPERATING COST NOT INCLUDING
<br />INTEREST OR DEPRECIATION IS ESTIMATED AT $40,000.
<br />
<br />6. THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD WOULD CONTROL ALL SEWAGE AND SEWER CONNECTIONS UP TO
<br />THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF GARDEN WAY AND THE CITY OF EUGENE WOULD CONTROL AND APPROVE
<br />ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE OUTFALL LINE WEST OF GARDEN WAY TO THE POINT OF CONNECTION
<br />WITH THE EUGENE SYSTEM.
