<br />IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT THE MAIN OBJECT TO DETERMINE IN THE STUDY IS THE
<br />CRITICAL AREAS, THE EfflCIENCY'Of THE EXISTING SYSTEM, AND WHETHER THE
<br />EXISTING SYSTEM CAN CARRY THE LOAD. IT WAS fURTHER POINTED OUT THAT IT IS
<br />NECESSARY TO COMPARE THE LOADS fOR WHICH THE EXISTING SYSTEMS WERE ORIGINALLY
<br />DESIGNED AND THE CONSTRUCTED WITH THE LOADS Of THIS DATE TO DETERMINE WHAT
<br />CAN BE DONE WITH THE EXISTING SYSTEM AND WHAT RELIEf IS NECESSARY.

<br />SQME DISCUSSION WAS ALSO HAD WITH REfERENCE TO THE STORM SEWER SYSTEM AND,
<br />IN GENERAL, IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT IT IS NOT ECONOMICALLY fEASIBLE TO
<br />ATTEMPT TO CONSTRUCT A STORM SEWER SYSTEM WHICH WOULD DRAIN ALL STORM WATER
<br />Off IMMEDIATELY ESPECIALLY DURING HEAVY RAINfALL PERIODS. IT WAS fURTHER
<br />. - - .
<br />STATED THAT IN PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL, THE STREETS MUST BE USED FOR
<br />STORAGE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS AN ECONOMICAL SYSTEM CAN CARRY THE WATER AWAY.

<br />IT WAS STATED THAT THE NORTH CENTRAL PORTION Of THE CITY, BEING THE OLDER
<br />PORTION Of THE CITY, AT PRESENT HAS A COMBINATION STORM AND SANITARY SEWER
<br />SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM ADDS TO THE PROBLEMS fOR THE CITY AS A WHO~E SINCE EVERY
<br />MAJOR TRUNK IN THE CITY GOES THROUGH THE COMBINATION AREA. SINCE 1946-1948
<br />NO COMBINATION SEWERS HAVE BEEN BUILT BUT WITH THE INCREASE IN ANNEXATION,
<br />ESPECIALLY TO THE SOUTH, IT NOW BECOMES APPARENT THAT MORE ADEQUATE TRUNKS
<br />MUST BE BUILT TO ADEQUATELY SERVE THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN SECTIONS Of THE
<br />CITY. IT ALSO BECOMES APPARENT THAT THERE MUST BE A SEPARATION Of THE COMBI-
<br />NATION SYSTEM IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA TO ADEUATELY MEET THE PROBLEM. WITH RE-
<br />SPECT TO THE CITY AS A WHOLE, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE 6TH AVENUE LINE HAVE
<br />RELIEf SO IT CAN PROPERLY DO ITS JOB.
<br />
<br />THE DIRECTOR Of PUBLIC WORKS INDICATED THAT fiELD STUDIES IN THE SOUTHWEST
<br />SECTION Of THE CITY HAVE BROUGHT DESIGN INfORMATION AND REQUIRED CAPACITIES
<br />- .. .
<br />Of SEWERS AS WELL AS INfORMATION ON ACTUAL, fLOW OF SEWERS IN THIS AREA, AND
<br />IT APPEARS THAT THE ACTUAL fLOW IS IN EXCESS Of THE MINIMUM REQUIRED CAPACITY.
<br />IT ALSO APPEARS IN THE WEST SIDE SYSTEM THAT INfILTRATION, ANTIQUATED LINES,
<br />JOINT TROUBLE,LEAKY HOUSEHOLD LINES, AND A WIDE RANGE Of OTHER fACTO~S ADD
<br />TO THE PROBLEM Of THE WEST SIDE SEWER SYSTEM. IN ADDITION TO THESE PROBLEMS
<br />JUST ENUMERATED, IT APPEARS THAT THE DEPTH Of EXISTING LINES IS NOT SUffI-
<br />CIENT TO ALLOW fOR BASEMENT CONSTRUCTION AND ALL KINDS Of HOOKUPS TO THE
<br />SEWER LINE IN WHICH IT IS BELIEVED THE PROPERTY HOLDER HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY
<br />AS WELL AS THE CITY. IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE STUDY MAKES
<br />CERTAIN SUGGESTIONS AS TO ORDINANCES TO CORRECT THESE SITUATIONS. IT WAS
<br />fURTHER POINTED OUT THAT THERE IS AN ECONOMIC fACTOR WHICH ,ALSO CONTROLS TO
<br />A LARGE DEGREE WHAT CAN BE DONE IN ANY AREA. IT WAS INDICATED THAT IT IS NOT
<br />BELIEVED THAT INfiLTRATION IN THE WEST SIDE SYSTEM IS THE ONLY PROBLEM BUT
<br />THAT IT IS A VARIETY Of CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM INTO BEING.

<br />IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT PLAN 5 AS CONTAINED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE STUDY BE
<br />ADOPTED WHICH WOULD SERVE TO RELIEVE THE PRESENT OVERLOADED AREA IN THE
<br />SOUTHWEST SECTION, Of THE CITY AND WOULD ALSO SERVE AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND
<br />WEST Of THE AREA AT PRESENT SERVED WITH SEWERS. THE fiRST SECTION Of THIS
<br />PROPOSAL WOULD BE TO BUILD A LINE fROM THE OUTfALL LINE TO 6TH AVENUE AND
<br />FILLMORE STREET AND THEN TO POLK STREET AT A COST Of $377,000.00, OR THE
<br />SAME LINE TO 8TH AVENUE BETWEEN GRANT AND CHAMBERS STREETS AT A COST Of
<br />$399,600.00. EITHER Of THESE WOULD BE THE fiRST LEG Of A PROPOSED LINE
<br />WHICH EVENTUALLY WOULD SERVE THE SOUTHWEST SECTION Of THE C'TY. IT WAS ALSO
<br />POINTED OUT THAT THE TOTAL ESTIMATES TO CONSTRUCT THE NECESSARY LINE fROM THE
<br />OUTfALL LINE TO SERVE BRYCLER PARK AT THE EXTREME SOUTHERN SECTION Of THE
<br />CITY WOULD BE $761,261.00, OR $600,000.00 TO GET AS fAR SOUTH AS 24TH AVENUE.

<br />2. PRESENTATION Of fIRST DRAFT Of PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO INCREASE WATER USER
<br />CHARGE - MR. RALPH RODERICK APPEARED BEfORE THE COMMITTEE AND INDICATED
<br />HIS FIRM, CORNELL, HOWLAND, HAYES & MERRYfiELD, HAS SPENT SOME TIME IN
<br />COOPERATION WITH THE CITY OfFICES IN COMPUTING PROPOSED WATER RATES AND
<br />COMPILING A PROPOSED ORDINANCE fOR A NEW WATER USER CHARGE.
<br />
<br />MR. RODERICK PRESENTED A PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT
<br />WHICH, WITH REfERENCE TO RATES, RECOMMENDED A $2.00 RATE fOR THE fiRST 1000
<br />CUBIC fEET Of WATER USED, PLUS 10~ PER 100 CUBIC fEET OR FRACTION THEREOf
<br />UP TO 5000 CUBIC fEET, AND 6; PER 100 CUBIC fEET fOR ALL ABOVE 5000 CUBIC
<br />fEET, WITH A MINIMUM CHARGE Of $2.00. HE fURTHER STATES THAT THEY WERE
<br />RECOMMENDING THE RATES BE ESTABLISHED ON THE SIX WINTER MONTHS PERIOD WHICH
<br />ARE THE NORMAL WATER USAGE MONTHS SO THERE WOULD BE NO DETRACTION OR UN-
<br />fAI~NESS CREATED BY THE USE Of THE WATER IN THE SUMMER fOR OTHER THAN NORMAL
<br />DOMESTIC PURPOSES. SOME DISCUSSION WAS ALSO HELD AS TO WHAT THE PROPER fEES
<br />WOULD BE fOR WATER DISTRICTS AND fOR SPECIAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS MOTELS, HOTELS,
<br />APARTMENT HOUSES, AND THE UNIVERSITY.
