Meeting called to order by the Chairman.
The meeting was then opened with "Prayer" by Rev. S. L. Whatley.
John W. Wakefield, Chief of Sewage & Industrial Waste Division of Bureau of Sanitary
Engineering, State Board of Health, apoeared with reference to the proposed sewerage improve-
ments and outlined their policy since 1951 to bring about the correction of water pollution
problems by requiring any new sewer construction to be coupled with adequate sewage treatment,
and advised of their refusal to approve eny plans for major sewer extension throughout the state
if sewage treatment were not provided. He then stated that it was his opinion that the State
Board of Health would not approve the City's plans for proposed sewerage improvements if no
treatment plant was included, and that legal action would probably be taken to prevent %~
installation because of creatin~ a health menace. Mr. Wakefield further stated that the Board
had not advocated full treatment for Sanford but a primary treatment plant with chlorination.
In answer to question by Commissioner Ivey, Mr. Wakefield then stated be had no definite
proof that this would create a health hazard unless used for dr~.nklng purposes, but felt he
was speaking for the majority of specialist in the field.
Commissioners Kadet and Stemper again spoke in favor of a treatment plant.
Commissioner Ivey stated that he was in favor of a treatment plant over a long range
program but the City could not afford one at this time.
Mayor Chase pointed out that there was no factual evidence that the proposed improve-
ments would crests a health hazard,
second on orovlding for a treatment
doubt that it is not needed now.
After further dlscussion,
stating that if he felt it would, he would not hesitate a
slant, but that he was convinced beyond all reasonable
