<br />23 <br /> <br />MONDAY <br /> <br />DECEMBER 19, 1983 <br /> <br />wastes, now operating under a permit allowing treatment of up to 4 MGD, and can be ex- <br /> <br />panded to treat up to 8 MGD at a cost (at today's prices) of $1,000,000.00. Meanwhile, <br /> <br />members of the Public Service Authority and of the Board of Supervisors indicated a <br /> <br />willingness and commitment to share in the cost of odor-abatement equipment proposed <br /> <br />for the City's wastewater treatment plant, along with the expansion thereof, should <br /> <br />"Option 1" from Mr. Overman's report be selected over one or more of the other options <br /> <br />presented. Mr. Overman further pointed out that the most economical method of meeting <br /> <br />area treatment needs within the shortest time-frame would be for the Public Service <br /> <br />Authority to expand its Koehler treatment plant to 8 MGD and for the City to divert <br /> <br />wastes (which are predominantly industrial-type) from its Jones Creek Interceptor to <br /> <br />the PSA's Koehler treatment plant, thus reducing the industrial waste treatment demand <br /> <br />upon the City's facility in exchange for additional domestic-type wastewater from <br /> <br />Henry County. No estimate was available on the cost of constructing a transmission <br /> <br />line from the City's Jones Creek Interceptor to the Koehler plant; however, in Mr. <br /> <br />Overman's opinion, such a line would handle the flow by gravity rather than require <br /> <br />pumping stations. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Mayor Cole, referring to the generally-accepted premise that area treatment capacity <br /> <br />of 16 MGD will be sufficient to serve area needs for the next ten-to-fifteen years, <br /> <br />asked for more detailed information (such as on flow figures and time schedules) as <br /> <br />well as strongly suggested that the engineering consultants for both the City and the <br /> <br />PSA jointly develop and present recommendations as to what are the best methods by which <br /> <br />the regional sewage treatment needs can be met. Mr. S. E. Moran, a member of the Board <br /> <br />of Supervisors and of the Public Service Authority, supported Mayor Cole in the quest <br /> <br />for such recommendations, while Dr. Wally L. Betton, a member of the Public Service <br /> <br />Authority, citing what he described as a "communications problem" resulting from <br /> <br />- <br />
