Sewer System Growth Indicates
Goldthwaite Is Alive And Growing
Page 12
THK GOLDTHWAITE EAOLE-Mtrr i n.
Ooldthwalte, Tens, Thursday MayjS®1
A sketch of the history of
Goldthwaite s sewer system re-
veals that It parallels our city’s
growth.
Goldthwaite’s. original Sewer
Plant was, built In 1935, with a
WPA Grant from the Govern-
ment and using WPA labor.
With this arrangement only a
small part of the project was
financed locally.
The plans were probably
never approval by the Texas
State Health Department. The
plant consisted of an Mhoff
Tank wMh sludge beds for
drain off purposes.
By the year 1940 Goldthwaite
had begun to have trouble with
the plant and the quality of the
water down stream. The trou-
ble progressed and the State
Health Department was called
to advise what could and what
should be done. They recom-
mended that we build a trickl-
ing filter to run the water
tlirough, to Improve the ef-
fluent by adding oxygen and
remove some of the undigested
solids, thus decreasing the BOD
(Biochemical Oxygen Demand).
After some two years use It
was discerned that the filter
was not doing the job as hoped.
In fact It was determined that
the quality of the water was
worse than before the so celled
filter was installed.
There followed a period of
discussion with land owners,
citizens, and travelers and also
the health department, during
which time advice was sought
from all sources. Down stream
land owners were asked to use
the water fog irrigation thus
solving two problems, object-
ional odors and dry weather.
In the late forties, L. B. Bum-
ham bought the property on
which the plant is located and
Immediately became Interested
in use of the water for irriga-
tion. The City Council entered
an agreement with Burnham
whereby he furnished the land
and the City built & lagoon for*
storage of the water an4 Instal-
led a pump for his use in Irri-
gation. The system has worked
very well for Some time, but the
increased use of detergents by
customers and the apparent be-
lief by some people that it Is
alright to turn most anything
Into the sewer, has resulted In
the plant not doing a sufficient
Job to satisfy either the City or
the health authorities.
State Rep. Maurice AnjIy Tii
Speak Here On Friday, May
Due to recent legislation the
Water Pollution Control Board,
has come into being. This body
has condemmed the facilities
which are now operating on
only a temporary permit.
Several years ago the city
council hired Rady and Associ-
ates of Ft. Worth, an engineer-
ing firm, to make a complete
study of the sewer system to
determine the most feasable
thing to do on a basis within
means. Rady came up with an
overall plan of extension of
lines and plant improvement at
a cost of some 8320,000. The
council was reluctant to at-
tempt such an expenditure lo-
cally. It was decided to wait
until some aid could be had
from government sources.
State Rep. Maurice Angly, of
Austin, the Republican candid-
ate for State Treasurer of Tex-
as will speak on Friday, May 12,
at 8:30 pjn. to a gathering of
friends of Angly and Interested
voters hosted by Mr. Bob Baird
In the Community Room of the
Mills County State Bank here
in Ooldthwalte.
Rep. Angly, a 31 year old Aus-
tin attorney who Is the senior
Republican member of the Tex-
as House of ReprSeenMUves

bent State Treasurer Jesse
James In the Stock Fraud Scan-
dal. The public Is cordially In-

A plan of extension was adop-
ted on a pay as you go basis.
With this method sewer con-
nection were made available to
one hundred additional custo-
mers and relieved some bad
conditions around town. Plans
are to continue this project as
time and money permit.
Plans are drawn and an ap.-
plication has been made to all
government departments for
approval of plans and help In
financing a new and modem
sewer treatment plant for Oold-
thwaite. It Is hoped to get a
fifty-five per cent grant from
the Federal Government and
further aid from State depart-
ments.
An election will be called
soon and further details of this
project will be published later.
City Manager, W. C. Barnett,
and the Goldthwaite City Coun-
cil consider the sewer system a
high priority development.
