<br />. <br /> <br />153G <br /> <br />IV. PLANT OPERATION <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A. Process Variables: recirculation rate, chlorination, sludge <br />wasting rate <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />B. Residuals Handling: Screenings and grit are buried on the <br />premises and the sludge is dried and hauled away by farmers. <br /> <br />C. Plant Operation <br /> <br />1. Record-keeping practices: preventive maintenance records <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2. Outfall inspection: There are some algal growths on rocks <br />near the river but no evidence of sludge deposits. The <br />effluent was somewhat turbid when contrasting it with <br />the river. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />3. Personnel and personal aspects: The plant has 3 full-time <br />operators and one part-time operator. The plant is <br />staffed from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />D. Analytical Capabilities <br /> <br />1. Current analytical practices: settleable solids, pH, <br />temperature, chlorine residual, dissolved oxygen <br /> <br />2. Sampling techniques: twice weekly - grab <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />V. SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION <br /> <br />A. Financial Condition: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The revenues are generated as follows: <br /> <br />sewer charge $1.75 (residence) per month <br />tap fee $200 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />income 1974 - approximately $84,000 from sewer charges plus <br />$15,000 for sewer taps and $900 from interest <br /> <br />expenses 1974 (estimated) - $66,000 for operation, main- <br />tenance and includes money for new test facilities <br /> <br />no bond indebtedness <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />B. Current Planning: Currently, a building fund is being es- <br />tablished for future growth. The 1974 budget includes <br />money for new laboratory space and equipment. <br />4q <br /> <br />. <br />
