WATER VILE
SEWER IN VILE AWAITS FUNDS
Haase Street Condition Deplorable-Relaying
 of Main Delayed

At last weeks inspection trip of the Board of Commissioners of Public Works serious consideration was given to the undesirable san itary conditions existing in the Haase street section Of Waterville.
 For several years the overfowing cesspools which serve the large | group of three and six family
 houses on that street had been inc
 adequate to care for proper sew
 age disposal and as result have
 formed 6 veritable pond of sewage
 In the open lot west of the street. Innumerable complaints have been
 made by the residents of Haase. Driggs and Sheffield streets. and Thomaston avenue. the board of health has even interested itself in thes ituation.
 Adequate relief cannot be expect cd until the sewage disposal sys- tenn is extended north from its present turminus at Huntingdon penue. This extention means the .,ening of Thomsaton avenue from that point north in order to provide the carrier Into which iaterals might empty. Tn view of the fact that sufficient funds are not available for the work this year the board has found 1t necessary to table the proposition until such time as funds are available. There was some discussion of n tenn porary relief plan which called for building laterals which might | empty into storm water sewer catch basin located at the corner of Driggs street and Thomaston n UA tA hA dfanaaa | through that channel to the river until proper sanitary sewer iaterals could be constructed. This was found to be impractical since the storm water sewer at that point Is almost at river level and, as a re- suit. woui diead to the backing up of sewage during high water per- iodn
 Waterville residents. particularly those residing In the section affect cd, feel that the situation is serious enough to warrant the work being undertaken even at the expense of projects already approved, point Ing out that if relief is not 0b- tained q serious epidemic of dis ease may result from the unsani- tary conditions.
 Water Mains
 Another Waterville project tenn porarily tabled by this last meet ing of the Hoard Of Commission CTS Of Public Works is the re-lay- ing of nearly 1900 feet of water mains in the Fort Hill section. The ten-inch mains originally laid there have been badly corroded and are also of insufficient size to supply the section. As result Of water service is extremely bad and prac- tieaily useless in case of fire. Ass surance was given that the work will be attacked In the spring when it is anticipated that funds will be available.
