Cost of Sewerage. 12 Miles of Pipe Witb Outfit Can be Pat id For $19,000. Augusts, Ge Jan 22, 1901 Mr Emmet I. Reardoo, Secretary and Health Officer, Sumter, 8 C My Dear Sir : 1 bare tbe benor to eobmit tbe following views on plaint of Sewerage by tbe "water carrier tyttem," and sewage disposal for Somter, 8 0 , by the highly effective method of "tubsurfsce Irri gat inn " With the of a water sopply io all cities and towns, tbe imperative necessity for a sewerage system will be4rcadily admitted by every body, beoause of the large contributions Co the filthy wastes, which all physicist will agree, should be immediately oarried off, aod not be permitted to ?oak into the soil at tbe site of our domiciles. Life sod health depend upon right ly understanding and carrying oot those sanitary works (which go to prolong life and sustain health. Pore air, pure water and nutritious food, are the three great agents for promoting life and heslth. Air, carrying decomposing matters, con? veys to the human system a specific poison, whioh lowers the vitality, aod thus renders tbe system very susceptible to diseases After the digestion and assimila? tion of food, producing nutrition through tbe blood, tbe rest is passed sway io faeces and undigested food. The nitrogenous compounds, soluble io wster, are paeeed away in the urioe. It is known tbat all matters whioh have eerved their purpose to promote animal life, are converted into agents destrootive to tbeir existeoee. and are made fit ageota for tbe support of tbe vegetable life. Tbe vegetable kigdom utilizes those waste elementa east off by tbe animsl kingdom, aod io turn, gives up air, water aod food io a fit aod healthful condition for tbe ooe of tbe aaimala ; tbos, performing tbat won? derful oyole io oatore, of tbe adapt* ability of all things for a osefol pnr pose Io this simple physiological faot, lies the soooeasfol carrying oot and operatioo of esnitary works Thus the soloblt wsstee from kltohen, laun? dry, factories, together with the orioe and faeces, sre broken up by the force of water into e liquid and thoroughly macerated form, theo oerried by pipes and tubes under* ground, end made to combioe with tbe constituents of esrth oomposiog tbe ''irrigating field," to become the food for the vegetable kfgdom. Of all tbe various plsns for the removal of anch wastes, tbe univer? sally conclusive and admitted one, is tbe "wster csrrisge system " in planning sewerage works there are three operations, i e : 1. Tbe surface drainage or removal of storm water 2 Tho subsoil drainage 3 Tbe removal of all faecal and liquid wastes from dwellings, msuu factories, etc, by water flowiog in underground conduits from tbe houee and other connections If we would avoid confusion, wo should remember that drainage is tbe removal of storm wster from the surface of tbe grouod and from tbe anbsoil, and, tbat sewerage is the removal of waste matter from dwell? ings, manufactories and other build? ings by means of water flowing in underground conduits Io the "combined system*' all of the three operations above stated are fully accomplished by one system of couduitt, by which we have tbe full "combined ayatem of sewerage" for the speedy removal of waste eub stanoes fiom dwellings, manufaoturies and other buildings,by means of water flowiog io underground oonduits, consisting of largs pipes, wbiob makes it oot only very expensive, bot impracticable fur an inland town or city, because of tbe waot of a water course ss an outfall, capable of carrying off so lsrge a volume, in? creased by the rainfall and introduc? tion of water works. Wbeo there is but one system of conduits ueed exclusively fortewage, we have the 1 separate system" at a very small cost compsratively, and which serves the purpose of the third operation, viz: tbe removal of all liquid woetee from houee?, manu? factories and other buildings, aud sometimes the water from tbe roofs of dwellings, which is admitted for (lushing purposes At tbo bead oraommit of eacb Hoe of sewer pipes, there will be placed as a part of tbe system, automatic flush tanks, esob containing 500 gal* Ions of wster, the valves of which ere so sst, as to produce a discharge periodically, aay: once in 12 hours, or ofteusr if desired Thus we have water and its motive force in diluting and carrying tbe sewage oot of the city or town, by the meana of ondergroond pipes or tubes of calculated diameters and gradients, laid to the irrigating fields, where the diloted and maoerated eewage is wasted through porous pipes, laid with open joints for agri ooltoral purposes Thie will be found, eod is accepted, aa the best plan in eeouring a speedy removal end disposal of the principal mattere aod liquid waates, filth and etc., liable to decomposition It will seoure sod preserve tbe manorial value of tbe elements that have to be utilized as food for the grains, grasses and vegetable*, increasing the fer? tility of soil and producing an incred ible yield in farm products It will do away witb tbe baneful effects on heslth, when tbe accumolatious in towns, in forms of cesspools sre par mitted, either near or under the habitation of tbe people, or in close proximity thereto, and from broad casting the soiled water from kitchen, laundry, baths, water closets and chambers into receptaclea about tbe domiciles, as is known to be some? times thoughtless done At the point selected for the out? fall, there will be built to receive the crude eewage, a small reservoir, with two oompartmeuts well ventilated and separated by a wire mesh work partitloo, wbiob will intercept eod, retaio all sooh solid matters tbat may oot have been tboroogbly broken op aod Well maoerated io its passage through tbe pipes. From the first compartment, the solid matter if eoy be foood therein retaioed, will be re? moved and burnt once per month. Tbe liqold macerated waste, passes tbroogb tbe mesh work ioto the next compartment at a lower level, eod flows thence into what is known aa the mi da eerrier pipe, from which it flows ioto the distributing porous pipes, whioh ere plaoed and graded in furrows to a dspth of 10 to 12 inches below tbe sorfsco of the soil, sod sst lo rows 4 feet from oenters, when the absorption of tbeir oontente is speedily accomplished by the absorbing end eoostifueat elements of tbe porous soil. The area so used and epplied is knowo ss the "irrigat? ing field " Tho liqoid waste pening oot of tbs poroi pipes aad joints of sams, is all taken op by tbe roots of plant! or vegetation All exesai of moisture paases te a lower level through tbe porosity aod depth of soil, Sitters tbroogb it, aod eomes out in veins of clear filtered water. This is the proeesi of farm draioage, by purification aod filtration io largely aod soooessfully oarried out io maoy eitiee aod iolaod towns, aod ii known as the method of sewerage disposal by "sob surface irrigation," for whioh the irrigating field, a certain area of laod next to the poiot of outfall is prepared. It will give me pleasure with time if you wish it, to eeod you a list of the cities io tbe Uoited 8ta**i at tbe North aod West, where this method is eotirely osod aod proved very satisfactory sod successfully in every way. Io this oooosotion, I may stats : tbat tbe oitiei of Berlin aod Chailly, io Prussia aod oear Peril, dispose of the sewage oa irrigating fields. In tbs farmer oity. the fields are oeoopied by tbe homes of 4,000 farm laborers, who are robust aod healthy people, free from all tbe diseases oommoo to tbe eitiee, j thus offsriog in poiot of hosltb, a strik log eomparisoo to that of tbo inhabitants of the eitiss This fsot is stated oo the aolhority of the iospeetioo and report of the highest aotbority oo sanitary works, Mr Rudolph Hering, oooseqaeotly, it oao be well aeoepted, as the strongest endorsement of tbe snbsurfaee irriga? tion plao. Solid matters as garbage, kitebeo aod faetory wastes, should be eolleoted in middens, oarried off, burot sod applied, or sold as fertilisers. As a rule io ooostruotiog sewers, it is usual to lay them io the direetioo of tbe natural fall of tbe 'aod, hence the outfalls aro to bo found io the valley of the stream wbieb receives tbe olear and purified onderdrainago of the irrigati field, or the ezoess of water f- im tho intermittent filtration of the bewsge of a oity ? lu sea ooast oitios, or inland towns oo bold streams, tbo sewago oao be direotly wasted ioto tbo sea or stream, after being deodorised tod disiofeoied at the plaae of oetfell ; bat when aewaga bet to bo carried in pipes so extraordinary dtstaoce, sad hat to be treated ohemieally, before discharging it ioto the ssa or strsem, it besomss too ezpsatire for ihe limited volume of sewage of a imall city It ta heaee conclusive io poiot of eeooomy, that of all plans of disposal, the best aod j ehsspest is lbs "subsorfese irrigating/' which I bare attempted to dsteriba for the information of your people. At tbo points of ehaoge of dirsstioo, at alt iotsrseetioos ef streets aod at j distanset ef 350 to 500 ft, sirsular manholes with oonoa?s bottoms wilt be \ boilt, te receive the sorted inverts of the tewer pipes The inverts may be j of brick aod oemeat, or of isetisas of sarvitioear pipea, to sail lbs diameters of the main sewsr pipes oted ia task j ttrsets. I The topogrspbie features of the town of 8umtsr, io the direction of the poiot of the outfall, will allow 01 to gat self cleaning grades far the sewers, without going to great depths st the lowest great depths at the lowest points of the points of the sewers, ezoept where the drainage of eellers has to bo provided for The daoet and hollows of the eorfase formation of Somier, will when prop arly graded, enpply the chance's for the snrfaca drainage or exoessive rain? fall. These channel* or gutters formed on street?, osn be easily graded, to follow the natural fall of street snrfsoes. A block map with levela of all street intersections, will show the relative elevations, aod will iodissts lbs gradua? tion of streets that may bs nasstsary for a perfect sarfaee drainage.
