Public Ownership
Operates on Plan
Of Service at Cost

Public ownership either through
or district prof.
ects operates on the principle OF
service at cost and. furthermore,
through the elimination or amortiz-
ing of the capital account. reduces
the cost to the lowest possible point
as is pointed out by a writer IN
recent publication dealing with pub
lie ownership. This writer states
further that when this public own
erShip program is given full sup
port and cooperation by the farmers.
the problem OF rural electrltlcatlon
becomes easy to solve.
Such a program brings the cost
of electric current down to low
point and when the capital invest
ment is fully amortized and other
economies effected. the cost will be
brought down TO 4 still lower level
Thus. for example, the bulletin
points out that in the rural areas
surrounding Tacoma, Washington
due to the cooperation OF the farm
ers with the municipality owned sYs-
tenn of that city. current can be sold
to a considerable portion of the farm
users for one cent a kiloWatt hour
Other instances of this coopera-
ton of farmers with municipality
owned power systems are indicated
and in each case the farm areas
profited greatly by the action. Low
er rates resulted which led to the
wider use of electrical appliances
both for home and farm work pur-
poses.
The proposed power development
and distribution program of the I'M
perial Irrigation District will do for
rancherS in this area what has been
done in other parts of the United
States through the operation of
publicly owned and operated power
systems. Lower rates, an increased
consumption of power for home and
farm uses and a growing surplus
gained through the system which
will be used for tax reductions on
lands within the district

New Sewage Plant TO
Be Of Latest Design

Concrete slabs will close the sewage
pit to prevent odorS and guard
against health menace
Sewage from the sewer lines en-
terS the plant at % feet below the
surface Of the earth and is deposit
ed in a concrete reservoir q feet
in diameter and approximately 80
feet deep. The reservoir has a ca
pacity at its peak load of about
three hours.
Flow BY Gravity
After it is deposited in the pit, a
24-foot vertical lift will discharge
it into the outfall through which
it will flow by gravity to be dumped
into New river seven miles away.
The plant was designed for the pur-
pose of lifting the sewage as a
means of avoiding the excessive
depth required for an all-graVity
line. The maximum pipeline depth
required with pump is 20 feet and
with an all gravity line is 40 feet.
The plant also will make possible
provision Of the sewer service on the
west side of the city. The present
limit Of the service is Imperial ave-
nue..
In anticipation of increases in
population in the next 10 or 20 years
and the possible decrease in the
water flow in New river, a partial
treatment of the sewage may be
necessary from a health standpoint.
Therefore this plant was designed
l., ,oI, No n
a future treatment program.
Pumps to be installed at the plant
constitute a series and will be cleo
trically driven. They will be con-
trolled by automatic float switches.
The motors differ in capacity from
600 gallons per minute to l,200 gal
Ions per minute. The flow will be
four times as great at the peak as
at the minimum.
Pump Cut In
When the incoming sewage in the
pit arrives at a certain height, the
smallest pump automatically will
cut in and force it out into the
line. When it rises to another point,
the larger pump will cut in and
the smaller cut out. If it still rises,
the largest pump will cut in and
The others cut out. If the rise still
continues, all the pumps will cut in
70 handle the load. Should the
pumps fail to operate or the power
fail an automatic alarms will ring in
he city water plant in FL Centro
to warn that all is not we'll at the
sewage plant.
The apparatus at the pumping
plant will be electrically controlled,
md beyond daily inspections, no op-
orators will be on the ground. The
operation of each pump and the
rate of sewage flow will be electric
ally transmitted and recorded at the
water plant two miles away. A chart
will show the "a hour rate of flow
Men are on duty "a hours at the
water plant and will be able tc
check the sewer plant charts. If the
alarm rings a man from the water
plant Immediately will visit the
other plant.
Auxiliary Pump
In addition to the electric pumps
there will be an auxiliary pump OPP
Grated by gasoline and having a ca
pacity of 1890 gallons a minute.
Motors and pumps will be on tht
second floor of the plant which viii
be below ground. Auxiliary motor!
will be Cn the ground floor and Gov
cred by a metal lathe and plaster
structure.

When Ell Centro gets its new sew
age pumping plant construction OF
which is scheduled to begin soon as
part of the outfall sewer project,
this city will have a plant of the
latest design for that kind OF equip
ment and the machinery will be OF
the most modern type. The plant
will be built by H. A. Teget, sub
contractor.
1t was designed by Phillip w.
knights, city engineer, to meet the
needs of the community and was
approved by Koebig and Koebig,
consulting engineers for the Public
Works administration project, and
by the government. 1t will be built
at the northwest city limits.
Additional land was purchased by
the city to provide the required iSo-
lation and to permit future growth.
