Recommendations of the City Manager
1. Re Reduction�of T'�ater in Sanitary Sewer System
City Manager .Stites advised that one of the most necessary requirements
in connection w�ith the design of a sewer system would be the reduction
of storm water, and other non-contaminated water now entering�the

be instructed to prepare .an ordinance that would make it unlau,�ful for any
person to empty. water from a cooling system, roof drain, floor drain in
an uncovered area, o:r to otherwise permit any storm w.ater to enter the
sanitary sewer system from their property. �
He further recommended that the proposed ordinance regulate_the
emptying of swimming pools connected to the .sanitary sewer. system in
order that they might be emptied at off-peak periods and at a rate of
flow that would not' exceed the capacity of the sewer system, �

improperly constructed house connections permitting excessive irifiltration
of ground waters into the sanitary sewer system, that=said�Building Dept.
be given power to require the reconstruction of such house connections.
