CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: John Springstead
City Engineer Springstead gave a synopsis of the Sewage
Collection and Treatment Facilities Study. He stated that
the collection system was adequately designed and constructed
for the area within the present City Limits, and is producing
a high quality effluent under the present loading.
Mr. Springstead stated that�,hon the treatment: -plan t-•capacity
is increased to more than its present 600,000 G.P.D. it
might be necessary to replace the pumps in Lift Stations 6,
9, 15 and 21. He related that the waste treatment plant
is projected to reach 100% of its present capacity in 1986,
based on the projected population growth. The City should be
prepared to implement final design and construction of improve-
ments by 1984,and recommended that the City immediately apply
for assistance under PL92-500 for a federally funded 201
Program so that a study and Steps II and III can be completed
before 1986. He expressed that extension of the City Limits
to the South and East should proceed with caution until a
complete 201 analysis is made.
The study of the infiltration/inflow system indicated no
serious problem, however, constant vigilance should be
maintained to prevent the acceptance of substandard sewer
lines and illegal connections. The inspections revealed
some necessary repairs which are outlined in the extensive
report.
It was stated, flow equalization is an effective way of
increasing the design capacity of a waste treatment plant.
It is estimated that a flow equalization facility at the City
of Clermont waste treatment plant will cost approximately
$150,000, and recommended that this facility be included in
a 201 Study in conjunction with a complete loading analysis
of the plant.
