To the'City Commission: 2- �Z�-6 .3g3 Attached is a letter from the City Engineer regarding an inspection and recommendation concerning the physical condition of the sewage treatment plant. The City Engineer was requested to examine some obvious defects, which -I noticed on an inspection trip to the plant. He has examined the points in question and has made his recommendation. It is my recommendation that the City Commission immediately call for bids for a new steel boiler and furnace to replace the - existing gas operated boilers which are no longer satisfactory or safe to use. I would like to direct the Commission's attention to the fact that the expected life of the existing boilers has long since been used up, and they have been operating for the last five years on borrowed time. The crew at the Sewage Treatment Plant is capable of making the instal lation. We will, however, require a call for bids on the purchase of the boiler, and it will exceed the $500 limit. I.recommend that immediate-action be taken on this matter.
