So far, we can say that it takes from 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to test a meter ane about an hour to reoair.

Although we started usin~ some o~ the r:ec'l eC'uipment as early as January (Hhen raH seHaf,e first entered any portion of t}-:e expansion), the completed product took approximately six more months. As in usually the case, in any new venture, change, or revamped idea, the smooth- ness of oneration or efficiency of Hor\~ leaves much to be desired. Only with the ccr:;bined efforts of the plant superintendent~ ~r. Cunninrcham and his devoted ner- sonnel, did we finally achieve the level, in which the original overall plant effi- ciency was intended. It must be noted here, that in any neH or remolded construction ,wrk, there are always tedious problems that arise, that tend to tax the efficiency of any employee or personnel, but in our case, it is my opinion, that this transitio~ was accomnlished with litTle effort. Technically, at 1:15 ?::.~ 17 January 1963, we starTed pumpinf raw sludfe to the neH number two orir.ary digester. This, in effect, Has the beginning of a new era. For the first time in the history or the Salina Sewage Treatment Plant, an operator could tell~ by just observing a chart at periodic intervals, at what rate we were pUDpinf sludge, if all the pumps were ooerating, and to some closer degree of accu- racy, how mucrl raw sludge we \vere tra:;sferin['". This meant that one man coulci observe a chart, see the results, without having to wa~K to all the pump houses, and actually c:1cck to see if the pumps Here operatinp:. This resulted in saving him valuable ti;:;e to apply to other normal maintenance problems, which continually occur Hhen you operate equipment 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 52 weeks per year.

The reaches of the Smoky Eill River belOH "'[De I Treatment Plant has~ in the past, been a subiect of comment and conversation. I s:;eak h'i th considerable pride, ,,;hen I say our effluent from the nlant now is of the I best nature it has seen for several years. l:s has been repartee. in numerous arti- I cles, fish life is affected any tire the dissolved oxygen content of the Hater falls belCH 3.5 ppm. Since April of last' Y22r, continuous tests have been made In our I laboratory to determine what the oxysen content was of our final effluent, VOlna to the river. This reflects, if we are contributing to a Dol1uted situation, cr rein- I statinc a proGuct for use that is as food or better than when we received it. I Sa:r.'Jles of the r,i ver water were ta}:en just above the plant, just below the Dlant and two miles downstream from the plant. The average results were as follows: I Final effluent of the plant 5.9 ppm, of the river water above the plant 9.4 ppc~ rlver below the plant 8.9 pprn. So, you can point with pride that the City of Saline I is in no way contributinp to a ~ollu1:ion problem, but rather~ is operating an _.:1..-- I ti va and efficient business tha-r is irnrovin; cr in no Hay destroyin,r-, one ",_ vital needs - WATER.

Our new boiler is unique in the fact that it Vlill ooerate on 100% seW2~e _~= I or a ~ixture of Dartial sewa~e and natural gas (supplied by our neVI 4 inch ma~n ~~~o L~e J~ant) or solely on natural gas. This is all done automatically, in whaTever I co~bin2tions That night occur, but He also have the facilities TO manually control I W~~Tever oceration we so desire. We produced a total of 10,513,180 cubic feet of 2as since April of last year or an average of 48,237 cubic feet monthly. We cur- I ren~ly are runnlng . 1 COn1:lnous....y, an ammeter 1:est on our boiler to determine how nuch fas we actually burn so as to better report on the savings. I As can be seen on chart no. one, page six, VIe started netering the sewage flo'iT into the nlant in Anril of 1963. This is done by our new 36 inch rnapnetic flow I rr:cter ",hich is located in our grit chaf.;ber. I~ lS noted that in October and lJoven- I ber, the flow began to fall. The cCDtinuo~sraw sewage recorder was not oDeratin~ effectively, at that tirr:e, and wasre:Jaired in the month of December. Since April I He helve treated 1 ~ 202,900,000 f:a..llon2 of seHar-c.

The orifinal thinkinf bein[ of course, to use the fates to flush or desilt the river channel by Quickly opening the ['ates, and by the added velocity of the water, carry a\-lay the silt that has been deposited in the stream bed by an errosive action. The end result being a continuous clean channel through our parks and City. Secondly, of course, raising the crest of the dam would result in retaininf ~ore \'T2ter in our Cities reach of the Smoky.
