Rockville Sewage
Disposal Plant
Nears Completion
Town To Sell Bonds To
Cover Construction Cost.
PWA Directs Job

Costing approximately 100000,
the new Outfall Sewer and Sew
age Treatment Plant of Rockville
will soon be completed. Accord
ing to John /. Swarthout, Resi-
dent Engineer of the PWA, To-
Gated at Rockville, the new treat
ment plant viii in all probability
be ready for use by August Is.
1889. Mr.. Swarthout states that
construction on the plat was
started December 8, 1888 by Ligor
and Lyon. contractors with Mr.
Frank Hamill as general superin-
tendant. The new plant located
one mile east of Rockville, will be
modern in every sense of the
word. 1t contains a screen cham.
Der, primary and secondary auto
matte settling tanks, a pumping
station operated by electric pumps
which will force the heavy sludge
to a digestion tank and then tc
sludge bed which is covered
with glass. Here the sludge
will be dried, thus making a very
concentrated form of fertilizer
which will be disposed of by town
authorities.
Four revolving arms win spread
the sewage water over a bed con
tanning four hundred tons Of
crushed stone approximately one
hundred feet in. diameter. It win
then filter through to an outfall
line: It has been pointed out that
counter-active bacteria formed on
the stones acts as a purifying
agent on the sewage. Assisting
both Mr.. Swarthout and Mr..
Hamill as representative of Rock,
vile have been John G. McDon-
aid, Town Engineer and his assist
ant, Clarence NJ. Payne, Jr.
According to F. Bache Albert,
Town Clerk, $4,000 worth Of
bonds will be issued to help de-
fray construction expenses Of the
new plant. These bonds will be
put on sale to the highest bidder
on August 16, and win bear 3
per cent interest. Mr.. Albert
states that the new plant, which
has twice the capacity of the
present disposal plant, will be
capable of handling approximately
four million gallons a day from
around $50 hook-up units. The
new plant, Mr.. Albert says, is
quite necessary now that the west
end of Rockville is included in the
water and sewage system by a
legislative act which was passed
at Annapolis this spring. The
present plant is designed to ade-
quately care for the entire town
and to meet any increase in popu-
lation in the near future.
