ERACE MADE TO CHARLES
TOWN CITY COUNCIL.
Fehruarv 18Th. 192I

February 18th, 1926.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
ell, Charles Town, West Virginia
Gentlemen:
In accordance with our Contract |
have made complete survey of your
sewerage needs. and have prepared
plans therefor. l am submitting
herewith an Estimate of Cost for the
construction of such system.
Survey
The survey was made complete in
every detail. The transit lines were
permanently referenced in order that
they may readily be picked up again.
The level lines were run from the u.
S. G. S. datum, and permanent bench
marks established throughout the
Town. These bench marks, of course,
were checked. The survey is COM
plete in all details, with the excep-
ton of the location of the Sewage
Disposal Plant.
Plans
Profiles of all lines run have been
plotted, grades laid. and sizes of
pipe calculated thereon. These plans
have been completed on paper in
pencil
Design
Sanitary Sewers:
The Sanitary Sewers were design
ed assuming house on each so it.
lot. with five persons contributing
from each house a volume of sewage
of one hundred gallons each per day.
An allowance was made for infiltra-
tion at the rate of fifty thousand gal
Ions per mile, and the maximum flow
of sewage was assumed to be one
hundred fifty percent of the average
flow. Grades were laid so as to pro-
vide minimum depth of four feet
at all places where development ex-
lists, or development is apt to occur.
kutter's formula. assuming : 0.015
was used in the calculation of
grades. velocity and sizes. An al
lowance was made at the same rates
as used above for all portions of
Ransom at the points where they
would naturally connect to Charles
Towns proposed system. A mini
mum sized pipe of in. with a min
mum grade of fve-tenths percent
was used where the volume of flow
was less than thirty thousand gal
Ions per day. and a minimum grade
of three-tenths percent for volume
greater than this.
Combined System:
That portion of the system begin
ming at the corner of Washington
and Charles streets and following
generally the flow of your present
storm water system was designed as
a combined systematic storm flow
being calculated from maximum
rainfall statistics prepared by the II.
S. Weather Bureau for the Potomac
Valley from 1908 to 1928. Due to
the use of this section as a combined
system, an egg-shaped section was
adopted and the design based on
Kutter's Fomula. as previously used,
assuming 0.015.
That portion Of Charles Town and
Ransom draining into the combined
sewer was divided up into separate
sections according to the point of
entrance of the flow of water from
each section into the storm sewer.
The area of each section was deter
mined and the volume of water en-
tering the sewer was calculated by
the rational method, assuming that
ultimately a storm sewer will be ex-
