There have b~en a number of ghang~ one o~ which was my idea of the individual ~tl system. The original proposal was for one pond ~hich would be expanded as needed. This, I ~igur~d, would eaus~ aumerous m~inte:,~an~e problems in ~he future. At pre,ant thi~ is the only raw sewage lagoon in the area. There ~re two secondary tceat~ent ponds~ one o~ which is similar ~:o a ~ ,- other ~,~ a sta~d~r~ city sysges~ wt~:h a s~-ndge digester, ~c.

Both ponds froze to approximately half the working capacity, but this did not interfere ~ith the actual p~'ooeaa. ~h Mr. Wieman (the e~gineer) x;ho ia ~ [ncidengalJ. y, a ~.
