out on the basis that the sanitarian or the
district engineer had not gone to the edge
of the cliff to see the sewage actually

up and he would have to put in a new leach
well or leaching field. He found that he was

plant than he did before with the septic tank.

any jurisdiction over industrial wastes, and

going to need a little more time', which was
granted by the commission. In '6B they did
put in their domestic waste treatment facility.

in view of the snowst.orm that we had. The I
representative on the commission from Pueblo
did attend.

Great Western Sugar assures us that by
the end of this year they will have treatment
