REPORT AND STATEMENT
T. s. Wylly, Jr., Esq, Chairman of Com
mittee on Drainage, Savannah, Ca: Sir
beg to submit herewith the plan for the
sewerage of Savannah made by my firm,
u, Es1V 41aar
direction. 1t is not necessary to present
at this time any argument as to the eff
cheney and suitability of the system on
which this plan is constructed. II IL
a system which provides for the
absolute separation of foul drainage
from water falling on the surface of the
streets or storm water from any source,
that Is to say, II carries away only the
water that has been fouled by the uses of
the population. These sewers are COM
pletely and thoroughly ventilated by the
absence of any trap on house drains and
soil pipes between the sewers and the tops
of the houses. This has been found in
practice TO give perfect ventilation and to
produce no annoyance or discomfort. 1t
is the safest arrangement from sanitary
point of view, and is a feature essential to
the complete success of the plan recon-
mended.
The details of this plan are fully shown
In the drawings submitted. They give the
arrangement of main and lateral sewers;
their relation to each other, and the pro-
visions for ultimate outlet. The prohles
show the depth and inclination Of all sew
ers.
Two plans are submitted as follows:
No. /. Providing for direct discharge in
to the Savannah river and showing a feas-
ible method for. intercepting the sewage
and delivering 1t to Wilmington river.
No. g. A plan providing directly for dis
charge to Wilmington river.
Under plan No. 1, all the sewage in the
city will be delivered to the river by two
main sewers, one discharging at the foot
of Fahm street and serving about one
fifth Of the entire city and the other serv-
ing the remaining four-ffths, dlscharg-
ing at the foot of Randolph street.
The Fahm street main sewer runs
through New street, West Broad street.
Harris street, Purse street, Jones street.
Wilson street. Roberts street and Cemete-
~ street. 1t goes around the property of
the Central railroad. which is more eco
nomical than to cross that property.
In order to bring the sewage of the ter
ritory west of Fahm street and Guerard
street into this MAN. IL is necessary to
