VISIT TO THE CITY
SEWERAGE PLANT
Interesting Information Cleaned Re-
garding Operation OF this Import
ant City Adjunct.

A visit u the sewage pumping
plant of the Brownsville sewerage
system was an occasion Of unusual
interest yesterday afternoon to q
Herald repre- entative J. RI. Mer-
ritt, the superintendent Of the sys-
TEN. very kindly conveyed the re-
porter out to the plant and explained
the workings of the machinery TO
him. For the benefit or those who
may not know, it should be sta ed
that the plant is located on the re-
SAGA which runs past the city ceme-
terry.
Some of the citizens seem 70 be
under the impress ion that the
sewage Of the city is pumped into
the same resaca which runs near the
city water works plant. from which,
during the recent trouble with the
suction pipe. water was pumped tenn
porarily into the water mains II
any have been tormenting them
selves with such an idea, it might
relieve their feelings to know that
the resaca into which the sewage il
pumped is probably mile and half
from that from which the city
pumped water.
AT any rate, the sewage itself IS
not dumped into the resaca, but
it goes through such process G.
publication by chemical treatment
and filtration, that really almost
nothing Of it is left but clear,
sparkling water. This water is the
only part of the sewage Of the city
hat goes into the resaca at the
sewage pumping plant
Underneath the pumping station
of the sewerage company, there is Q
huge underground tank. sixtyfour
feet long, nineteen feet deep and
twenty-four feet wide. This is
known as a septic tank. 1t is di-
vided into two compartments. BY
what is known as a skinner" wall
resting on piers, and battle wall.
the latter six feet high. The water
drains over the skinner wall end
into the outlet just below the top Of
the battle wall.
When the water has become uf-
ficiently high, it is pumped into 2
filter bed in the open air, adjoining
the sewage pumping plant. This
bed is about 1O0x125 feet in size
and is divided into two sections by q
levee.
The filter bed is two feet and sly
inches deep. It's top is a foot OF un-
screened gravel, under which there
il layer Of red sand, also a foot
thick. The last six inches is a LAYER
of screened gravel. Under all there
is laid drain tile, through which the
water fit r. and runs into pipes
which carry the now clear water
into the resaca. Such solid residue
of the sewage as is left after he
process above described remains II
| the tank until such time as it grow
so high that il must be cleaded out
So far. il. has not been necessary TO
clean it out since the local system
has been in operation. After tho
water has been drained off there Is
in fact. practically nothing left. A
noticeable feature Of the plant is the
fact that almost no odor is percep-
tible about il.
! The company has at present abou
245 connections, and hopes TO in
crease this number in the nea
, future.
