MONDAY DECEMBER 19, 1983 options are worthy of further consideration, for they would provide the flexibility desired in the operation of regional facilities, as well as provide the means for prudently meeting both current and future finan- cial requirements. The basic options are presented below: OPTION NO.1: -- Calls for the Henry County and/or Public Service Authority's participation in the proposed expansion and upgrading of the City's sewage treatment plant from 6 to 8 MGD. Further, to meet the projected flow requirements of Henry County and those areas now proposed to be served by the City's plant pursuant to the adopted Comprehensive Sewerage Plan, Henry County would require that the City's plant be subsequently expanded to 12 MGD, for which the County would be expected to proportionately participate in the related costs. It should be noted that the now proposed expansion will result in an additional 0.67 MGD of allocated capacity to Henry County. It presently has 2.0 MGD of capacity and is using about 1.5 MGD of this allocation. Future flows will necessitate another expansion to 12 MGD so that the County may obtain a total of 3.5 MGD of capacity. The full use of the City's plant to serve those areas of Henry County per the Compre- hensive Plan will further necessitate the pumping of wastewaters from the South 220 and U. S. Route 58 Areas since the City's plant is upstream for the areas to be served. OPTION NO.2: Involves the construction of a sewage treatment plant on the Smith River near the confluence of Marrowbone Creek. Initially, this plant would have a capacity of about 1.0 MGD. Further, the County would not participate in the presently proposed enlargement of the City's plant from 6 to 8MGD, but the County would retain and use its 2.0 MGD allocation in this plant. This Marrowbone plant would, when required, be expanded to meet the future flow needs. The option will provide for gravity flow to the new plant from the South 220 Area. This same plant could in the future be expanded to accommodate diverted County and/or City flows from the City's plant. OPTION NO.3: - Provides for the diversion of wastewaters form the City's Jones Creek Interceptor to the County's Koehler sewage treatment plant. It requires the construction of the diversion facilities by the County, which will have the capability of diverting up to at least an average of 1.5 MGD. Through the diversion of sewage from the City's interceptor and plant to the County's plant, a method of swapping flows would occur so that for each gallon diverted, the County would have an equivalent gallon of capa- city in the City's plant. Such diversion of flow will only take place when the County desires additional capacity in the City's plant so as to accommodate the South 220 and U. S. Route 58 Service Areas' needs. Per- mission from the City will be required for the construction of the diversion improvements on the City's Jones Creek Interceptor. With this option the County would maintain its 2.0 MGD capacity allocation in the City's plant, but would not participate in today's proposed expansion from 6 to 8 MGD. As required by future flow demands, the County's Koeh- ler plant would be expanded to meet the needs. 23:
