Sewer Inspectors Report.

DEBORAH, Iowa, April lSt, IVY.
To the honorable mayor and city
council
With the exception of surface water
getting into the filter beds during
high water and which also moved
three of the troughs out of place the
sewer system as whole has worked
satisfactory, excepting the leaky line
on the flat which | reported last year
and which has not yet been repaired,
and which is now more extensive than
last year as | believe there are about
three blocks move that leak if not
more and if it is not remedied in the
The filter beds have just been
cleaned and are in good working
order, and the troughs have been
anchored more substantially than
before by setting fourteen fence posts
for anchor posts on the outside of
the beds and using a double strand
wire on both sides and one end to the
troughs.
In my report of last year | called
attention TO the many flush tanks
which are not connected with city
water which | will again call your
attention to as none of them have
been connected as yet to my knowl-
edge and if they are not, connected
it may results in lines choking for
want of water to flush them with.
The motor at the Sewer Pump
Station gave out at one time last
season and had to be refined which
was done and has worked very good
since.
Any further report is not necessary
as reference may be made to my last
years report for details if you so wish
as that would apply.
Respectfully submitted,

supplement-
The retaining wall which was put
in a year ago near the Rock Island
stock yards to protect the sewer lines
suffered some during the recent food.
About 68 feet east of the Dry Run
Bridge the wall leans some towards
the creek and the filing caved in some
from the top, for about 40 feet.
1t seems as though the reinforcing
rods holding the piles gave away
which must have caused the damage.
