CITY WATER PLANT Fayetteville, Arkansas July 23, 1958 • Mr. Albert Jones, Comptroller City of Fayetteville, Fayetteville, Arkansas Dear Mr. Jones: In regard to the amount and quality of sewage entering the city sewer mains from the Campbell Soup Company Plant located on West Spring of this city, I wish to present the following findings which are concurred in by the Water and Sewer Committees of the City Council as evidenced by their signatures below. I have carefully gone -over all the facts and records on their consumption of water and taking into consideration water used for steam boilers, water used and recirculated for cooling their refrigeration plant, and the fact that they are at the present time scree Ing out a major portion of the solid -contents, and the fact that they have for more the twenty years been operating in this manner and have from time to time improved such operation, and further in view of the plan of the company to further improve and expand their equipment to more adequately remove the solid wastes entering into our sewer system, I believe that a fair estimate of the load imposed upon our sewer system and di osal plant is equivalent to twenty per cent of the water consumed at the plant. I, therefore recommend, subject to the concurrence of the Water and Sewer Committee, that the above percentage be used for a period of two years, and also that the waste removal system at the Campbell Soup Company will be improved and properly.operated and maintained during said period, and that thereafter a sestudy of the situation be made with a view of reducing the above established percentage. Yours very truly, (a) W. C. Smith Water & Sewer Superintendent. The Mayor further reported this was strictly in accordance with the above named Ordinance.
