Title:
Sewage Treatment Plant, Completed September 1950, Grouped in the background -- left to
right -- Pumphouse, covered walk-way, office and laboratory, control room (directly in back of
office), two sludge digestors, and the refuse disposal unit, with vacuum sludge filters. Directly
in front of this building group, right to left, are the primary, secondary, and final sedimentation
filters. The two circular structures in the foreground are trickling filters, and at the extreme
left foreground is the million gallon final effluent reservoir. Paving of paths, roads, and walks,
also landscaping and a mesh wire fence completely surrounding the plant have no yet been completed.
Built at a cost of a million dollars, it is to serve as a model of construction for future plants
in several of the metropolitan areas of the West.
