Composite samples show a chlorine demand of 112.5 ppm. 3. ~Ive-da~ composite ~OD samples on the waste Water show an average of 555 ppm. ~e would assume that the bio-chemical oxygen demand ia approximately twice as great as that of normal domestic sewage. It is for that ~eason as well as the bi~ temperature of the ~aste that individuals alon~ the sewage disposal line are being troubled by putrifactive processes. 4. The flow in the waste line during the ten-hour period varied from 25 gallons per minute to 87.5 gallons per minute. Total flow for the ten-hour perio~ was 27,000 gallons. There are a number of manners in which the present problem may be handled, one of them would involve the red,orion of heating so that the waste water might carry chlorine. ~e would like to see the beat dropped on an average of 25° p. ~ater at a 103oF. temperature will c,~rry on12 small amounts of free chlorine, while water at 7~° F. will carry a high content of available chlorine. It ~ould be appropriate to drop the temperature as much as possible. 2O9 CITY HALL June 23, 1953 We therefore propose that a cooling tower be established for'the process of dropping the temperature cf the waste water. The cooling tower that we would sub,est would have a width of 57", a length of 82", and a heiKht of 125". .The waste water should be pumped to the top cf the tower and freed from sprays permitting it to fall 'ih a receiving tank which would be connected dl~e'ctly to the s~Fer. This coolin~ tower would be a natural draft type. We suggest that it be constructed .- of ~edwood lumber of normal design and that it spray approximately twelve hours a day. In order for the cool- ing tower to have a continuous supply of water it would be necessary to have a sump tank establisbed outside of the plant into wh'~ch the waste could blow. Waste from the sump tank coU.X~ be pumped into the coolin~ tower. Acccr~ing to our findings the sump tank should have a capacity of 2550 gallons in order to have a continuous sunDly of water for regular operation of the cooling tower. A pump attached to the sump tank should operate at a ~0' head with a capacity of 45 to 55 gallons per minute. The redwood tower would cost about $350 installed. The pum~ and connections as described above would cost around ~300 installed. The'~Peates expense in the ~emoval of the high ~0D or chlorine demand in the waste water would be in the installation and operation o~ the chlorinator. I would suggest that you investigate a manually operated chlorYnator, approximately a ~2 to 50 lb. type that could be installe~ to connect to the return line from the tank at the base of the cooling tower. Daily recuirements on chlorine at 112.5 ppm chlorine demand would involve a comsumption of 30 lbs. of chlorine in a 12-hour period. While most chlorinators are con- -- atructed on a 2k-hour period I am inclined to think that a ~2 to 50 lb. chlorinator would probably deliver necessary quantit~$s for oxidation of the waste materials and stabilization in the sewage lines. Automatic and semi-automatic chlorinators may be purchased although manually operated machines ara less expensive. You could.probably get the above described installed for abcu~ ~1700. In order that you may have other references so that ~ou can personally inv®s.tigate the ~tems mentioned above, I s~ggest in respect to the c6~ling tower that you c~ntact Yr. E. T. Geseell, W. E. Le~is and Company, 2213 Rutler Street, Dallas 19, Texas.' ~is telephone number is L0~an 7263. TheLewis Compamy handles Yarley coolin~ towers that are probably as dependable as any tower you can purchase. In respect to investigations on a chldrlnator you should contact Mr. Charles Henley, 2615 Green Street, Fort Worth. Either of these gentlemen will be please to come to see you at nc direct expense to your company and they might have s~gestions other than those I have given you in this' report. I am sure you want as many ideas as possible. I have not mentioned the cooling water that you use which is mncontaminated. You have two manners - of cooling that water. One is the operation of a cooling tower which in all probability would be a little larger than the one used for the waste and naturally the pump ' · would have to have greater capacity. The other method would involve the construction ct an earthen tank into w~ich the water could be pumped for cooling purposes and might retux, n to the sewer by gravity. It will be necessary to cool the water so as not to lose the chlorine that has been added to the waste when the two sources of water mix in the sewer line. CITY MALL June 23, 1953 Frankly, it seems to me that one manner in ~hich you could handle your problem very effectively might in the long run be less expensive and that would be to brin~ your property into the city limits and give the problem to the city. Since ~he city supplies a city disposal plant and a sawer line it has to guarantee service to all individuals within the limits of the City of Denton. If odors arise in a sewer main the inadequacy of the operation and the rectification of the inadequacy rests on the shoulders of the city. They would have to take care of your problems and in all probability might find it profitable to run your waste over to the new lift pump and tie it on t~ another main sending it directly to the sewage disposal plant. ~aturally, this would be a considerable expense to the city but would solve the problem e~cepting you would have a number of years of city taxation ahead of you. As far as we can tell, the total cost of installation for overcoming your present waste problem will be around ~5,000. Operation of the equipment would probably be ~50 to $60 per month.

RES 0 LU~ ~ ON WHEREAS, a substantial number of citizens resid- ing or owning property in the area immediately South of the present City limits of the City of Denton,. have filed Petitions for Annexation to the City of Denton, Texas$ and WHEREAS, the State of Texas has proposed ~o construct U. S. Highway No. 77 on a route which will pass through certain portigns of the area above referred to; and WHEREAS, the construction of such highway will also involve the construction of underpasses, overpasses, and exchanges; and WHEREAS, the final plans for the construction of such overpasses, underpasses, and ~xchanges have not been finally completed; and WHEREAS, such construction will necessarily result in certain drainage problems, the correction of which will. in all probability, involve the expenditure by the State o~ several Thousand Dollars; and W~EREAS, 6his large expenditure would have to be borne by the taxpayers of the City of Denton if the property on the Southern edge of the City were annexed$ and WHEREAS, most of the property sought %o be annexed in the above mentioned area will, in all probability t;e mere or less, within the contemplated drainage area; and WHEREAS, there are two tracts of land in the Southern extremity of the property sought to be annexed which, in all probability, will not be involved in ~he contemplated drainage area~ Now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS: That none of the Petitions filed with the City and covering property likely to be within the drainage area or any part of the proposed Highway be acted upon until the City is able to foresee more certainly the consequences which may result therefrom. Provided however, that the Petition filed by M.r. Clark, Mt.Smith, Mr. Solomon, Mr. Clearman, and others is hereby granted inasmuch as the Commission has determined, after much study and consideration of the geographical facts, that such property will in all probability, not be involved in drainage. These particular tracts of land are situated in geographically favorable locations with respect to drainage and Are not in' the same ~categoray as the property included in the Petitions whereon action has been delayed. It is further resolved that the City Commission 281 CITY HALL I~EBRUARY 16, 195& deems this action necessary in order to protect the taxpayers from:assuming a burdensome debt and obligation which, could quite possibly amount to several Theusmm~i Dollars, depending upon the drainage requirements mec.essitated by the various types of c~netruction b~i~g considered. It ~s~ the earnest hope and desire of the City C~mmissi~.and all other officials that the City of Denton grow, but w~ feel that we are compelled to take this actie~ and delay these certain annexations im order to avoid the tremendous obligation on the ~art of the City which would result from annexing the ~roperty w~thin the possible drainage area.
