Report of the Committee on Sewage and Water Supply (West) on a plan for the Disposal of Sewage and also for the Water Supply of the Town of Rainy River.
Provincial Board of Health Annual Report 1906, pg. 28
To the Chairman and Members of the Provincial Board of Health :
Gentlemen — Your Committee on Sewage and Water Supply (West), having looked over the plan for the disposal of sewage, and also for water supply for the Town of Rainy River, are of opinion.
- That the pumping station shown on the plan is too near the proposed outlet of the sewers.
- That the sewage of the town should not be discharged in a raw condition into the Rainy River.
Your Committee would therefore recommend —
- That the pumping station of the town water supply be placed further up the Rainy River, viz., above the creek which discharges into the Rainy River, about three-quarters of a mile, east of the town; and
- That a septic tank should be placed at the mouth of the main sewer outlet, and connected with this sewer, so that a comparatively pure effluent would be discharged.
Your Committee would further recommend that the municipality of Rainy River be requested to present amended plans for sewers and water service before beginning construction.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
Signed,
J. J. Cassidy,
Alex. Thompson,
Chas. A. Hodgetts.
