Milford Board Continues Studies Os Sewage Treatment Monday
Members of the Milford town board and representatives of the town’s engineering firm engaged in a lengthy discussion Monday night on proposed sewage treatment at Milford. Walter Jolly and Richard Weidner, representing Baxter and Woodman, civil and sanitary engineers of Crystal Lake. 111., discussed various types of treatment with the board members. Also present was Harry Wyland of Goshen, Kosciusko county supervisor of the Farmers Home Administration. Said administration often makes loans at a rate of five per cent to towns that are in the process of building sewage treatment facilities. Board members questioned the engineers about charges for reapplying for state and federal funds Jolly and Weidner stated their firm made no charge for reapplying for such assistance, however, they do charge if new plans are drawn Milford received bids several years ago for a sewage treatment plant to be located at the west edge of town. Bids were, however, extremely high and were not accepted. The town has sent a new application to the state using the old plans. These may be changed if the town decides definitely to go with a pond type system. State senator John F. Augsburger stated the state of Indiana has appropriated $64 million for sewage treatment. This figure determines the amount of federal funds available to the state. The state, senator Augsburger said, furnishes 25 per cent of sewer project funds while the federal government furnishes 50 per cent, leaving 25 per cent for the town to furnish. Senator Augsburger also stated that in the near future he expected to see signs in stores telling housewives how much phosphate is in each box of soap, thus allowing housewives to help with the pollution problem by choosing those soaps which contain lesser amounts. The Baxter and Woodman representatives told the board of
a package plan for a pond. The package plan includes pump, grinder and tank in which the sewage treatment takes place. They continued that such a system does good work if not over worked and operated properly. It has both advantages and disadvantages. Mr. Jolly stated he personally favored ponds for small communities. They are not. he said, free from maintenance but do require less than a package plan or plant. Normally, he stated, they are less expensive to build too. Milford has no plans for a pond at the present time. Estimates on a pond for the town of Milford stand at approximately $220,000. This is considerably less than the $325,000 bid received in 1967. Members of the Milford town board "have for sometime been looking at property west of town as they consider the possibilities of the less expensive pond or lagoon-type system. The land presently owned by the town can be used only for a system used with a trickle plant Board president Carl Duncan asked if there would be anything wrong with putting in a pond first and then working on the sewers. He was told this could be done. John Augsburger then asked why the project wasn't readvertised when bids were so high. He was informed they couldn’t get bidders to participate at that time. T. A. Miller referred to a sheet of estimated costs drawn by the engineers a few years ago far an airated pond. The estimates were $220,552. This did not include improvements to the sewer system. He asked if the project could be done at the same cost today and was told that due to some changes a total acreage of four to five acres would be required instead of the 18 or more originally figured on. With all of said changes the engineers thought this figure would hold true today. Miller raised the question. “What should we do? Something has to be done." He continued
Awards day was held at the school on Thursday with honors going to several members of the class of 1970. Aw ards and photos of the activities of the day are shown on page 2 of section 2. Also to be found in section 2 are a list of parties held following commencement in honor of the graduates.
that the sewage program was one of his prime reasons for being on the board. “We need to stop dumping raw sewage into Turkey Creek," he said. If the airation pond type system is used the next step is to purchase the land. Five acres, according to the engineers, would be enough, however, the town might take an option to buy more later. The pond, according to state law. must be a quarter of a mile from the nearest dwelling When asked if there were any such plants as the one proposed in Indiana Jolly and Weidner stated there were none, however, they (Continued On Page 3, Sec. l> TO BE ORDAINED — Pastor Carl Shearer of the Milford Christian church has announced the ordination of Michael Hamilton into the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.
