pumped completely empty, plus adding in a 20 percent factor for growth in the system, WSA members figured they would be pumping 72,000 gallons in a year.
The plant has a capacity for 15.000 gallons a day. WSA members voted to apply for a permit for up to 72.000 gallons to be pumped from the tanks yearly, but calculated that they would probably be pumping less than half that much, since they would normally be taking the sludge out of the bottom of the tanks, not pumping them empty.
They also voted to request that they not be required to install another tank to hold the sludge, releasing it gradually into the main treatment plant, since they would normally be adding less than 500 gallons at any one time to the system.
WSA member Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he knew of a pumping truck they could buy for $4,500. The truck has a new pump and 15,000 miles on a rebuilt motor, he said. The WSA voted to let the owner know they are interested in the truck, but not to buy it until they have a Health Department permit to pump sludge into the treatment plant.
