Pacific Municipalities And Counties Vol 34 PDF Download

Excerpt from Pacific Municipalities and Counties, Vol. 34: A Monthly Review of Municipal Problems and Civic Improvements, Official Organ of the League of California Municipalities Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen of the Convention: Ir. Locke, in writing me the other day, asked me if I would make some comments regarding the Reinsch-Wurl screen, as compared with the Imhoff Tank, and in that connection reference was made to the screen which he said we had in Los Angeles. At the present time we have no screen in Los Angeles, although one is contemplated in the near future. Nevertheless, the screen matter is one which intrests us, and I think a good many other cities in California, and on that account I have obtained some data from the experience of some neighboring cities, particularly Long Beach and Santa Barbara, and at Stockton, in each of which a screen has been installed. In order that this data could be prepared, in a way which might put you in a position to judge of the merits of the two, I have made some figures, in which I have compiled the results found in the other cities, and it is assumed that the collection system in sewage construction has been handled and completed, so that at the present time we would consider simply the disposal of the sewage. The sewage can be taken into a body of water., or elsewhere. If into water, it should be of sufficient amount to remove the objectionable material. If the bod, v of water is not available, the effluent may or may not be treated. In either case, the following statements are made on the basis that the screen or tank treatment may be considered as. either preliminary or final. Whether preliminary or final, the condition of the effluent from either screen or tank must be examined, in order that the flow may be compared.
