A special conunittee authorized by Council and appointed by Mayor Shultz October 28, 1958, to study and report ways and mearn of providing sewer service far the ~~~ ..~c c:>,~ j. new Druid Hills Elementary School on Indian Trail, submitted a report which included the following recommendations as accepted by the Courx:; il: The City should generally proceed with a plan whereby a main sewer line would be constructed commencing at the Druid Hills School and extending generally parallel to Indian Trail, per plans of Wiley & Wilson, to a point below and beyond the Lanier Lake Dam where a septic tank would be constructed. This tank would provide primary settlement Vii th the effluent being discharged temporarily into the adjacent creek and thence into MuJberry Creek and onto Smith River. City officials should negotiate with property mmers concerned to ascertain their willingness to make available both right-of-way and a location far the temporary septic tank. The estimated cost of the line from the school to the tank site would be approximately $42,688.96 plus an estimated $2,400 for the septic tank or a total of $45,088.96. The School Board would assign, as it has offered to do, the $D ,198.00 to the City as a matching share in the cost of the construction of this lihe. City Council yrould assign the remaining $31,890.96 as the City's share in providing this line and tank for service use by the school. Properties adjacent to the pr oposed Indian Trail line would be permitted to connect onto the line; however, in view of the limited availability of sewer line construction funds and due to the necessity for outfall construction in various areas of the City, the City would not be able to participate in the cost of any connector lines in this area for seVeral years unless there would in the meantime be available bond issue funds.
