Section 1. T~at the following described plan or system for additions to
and improvements of the existing sewer system of s aid City of Bremerton is
hereby proposed, speciI'ied and adopted, to-wit;
That a sewage treatment plant be constructed on the 1,~anette or East Brem-
erich side of Port Washington Narrows northwesterly from the existing ]¥fanette
Bridge, ~he specifications for which are more particularly set forth in the
plans and drawings of the consulting engineer in the office oi' the City Engin-
eer for the City of Bremerton.
That sewer lines from the east portion off Bremerton proper be collected
at the outfa£1 at the foot of ~ark Avenue an~-~ that a submarine pipe line be
constructed across Port Washington Narrows an¢~ thence northwest to the ~,~anette
sewage treatment plant in order that the flow of sewage so collected may be
pumped across sai~ narrows to the sewage treatment plant.
That an interceptor sewer be so constructed as to collect the flow from
East Bremerton (Nanette) at the south and west shores of Port Washington Nar-
rows and thence pumped or allowed to flow by gravity to t2~e ~anette sewage
treatment plant. Saim treatment plant is so mesigned as ~o provide for primary
treatment and shall consist generally of a grit chamber to remove sand, stones
and other heavy matter detrimental to the proper operation oI' theplant. Fol-
lowing the grit cham0er there shall be a combination bar screen an~ commin-
utor to shred ~the ~olids into I°ine material. The raw sewage will then go to
the settling tanks or clarifiers where solids will settle on the bottom o~~ the
tank and will then be automatically collected by means oi' scrapers into hop-
pers located on the ends of set~ling tanks~ and at proper intervals solids will
be automatically pumped into digest tanks. Solids will remain in the ~igest
tanks for approximately three months and at approximate intervals oi' three
months the sludge will be drawn off and either ~ried on b~ds or d~muped into
the effluent of the sewage treatment plant. After the solids have been removed
from the raw sewage, the liquid will be chlorinate~ and emptied into the out-
fall.
Section B. That the estimated cost oi~ constructing said ~ane~te sewage
treatment plant and ~he necessary pu~ping stations, outfalls, submarine line
and interceptor sewer lines is hereby fixed as near as may be in the sum of
$780~000.00. Of said amount, ~19,910.~, consisting of the ~rant from the
State Development Board and matching funds oI' dae City of Bremerton as herein-
above described, is available for payment of a portion oz° the cost oi' construc-
tion and ~he balance shall be provided by the City of Bremerton fzom other
funds available for such purpose, provided, however, that no general indebted-
ness shall be incurred by the City of Bremerton in the acquiring, construction,
maintenance or operation of such sewer system or sewage treatment plant.
