Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on the Sewage Disposal Problem of New Haven
Altogether six different major processes of sewage treatment were studied; fine screening, plain sedimentation, Imbofi tank treatment, activated sludge treatment, chlorination, and the Miles acid process, with minor modifications of each. Over samples of sewage, effluent and sludge, were submitted to chemical analysis and over more were examined bacteriologically. The results of our experiments, which were brought to a close in May, 1918, have now been thoroughly considered and compared: and they furnish, as we believe, a sound basis for a conclusion as to the next step to be taken in dealing with the sewage problem of New Haven.
Like all previous investigators of this problem we are convinced that the present method of discharging untreated sewage into the harbor is productive of serious nuisance and is a menace to the health of the community. The conditions are becoming intensified year by year with the increasing sewage flow and are bound before long to become intolerable.
So far as the local nuisance created by the spreading out of sewage liquids and the deposition of sewage solids on the flats of the upper harbor is concerned, the best remedy seems to us to be the discharge of the sewage into the deep dredged channels of the harbor, which would necessitate the construction of long outfall sewers at the Meadow and Sea Street outfalls. The attempt to remedy such conditions by digging lateral channels from a shore outfall to the main channel is only a palliative measure and has not yielded satis factory results, as applied at the Sea Street outfall.

Report on the Sewage Disposal Problem of New Haven (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complex sewage disposal situation facing New Haven, Connecticut amid burgeoning industrial waste during the early 20th century. The author, a Yale professor of public health, researches the issue, looking back to methods attempted previously to contextualize new ideas, and also forward to potential future issues. Their research on the city's sewage problem takes into account the impact on the surrounding environment, particularly the harbor, and studies previous failed attempts to improve the situation. The author also considers the impact of the disposal problem on the health of the local population. The book ultimately offers two viable solutions, each of which is dependent upon continued development and interaction with already existing infrastructure. These practical solutions are intended to both limit the impact on public health and help to restore New Haven's waterways to their natural state. This research showcases the importance of balancing the needs of industry with the well-being of both the local population and the natural environment, themes which continue to be highly relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
