BAKER, JR., M.S.6.£. <br />DIRECTOR <br />DIVISION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE <br />VINCENT D. PATTON, M.S.S.E. <br />DIRECTOR <br />•Mr. Russell Burks has informed this office that you have requested a report <br />on the current status of the water and sewage systems serving the Pineview Park <br />Subdivision in Gifford. <br />These systems were built according to plans approved by the Florida State Board <br />of Health and have been maintained and operated in a generally satisfactory <br />manner. There have been problems in the past due to odors from the sewage treatment <br />plant but this appears to have been all&viated and I know of no problems at this <br />time. 14 most recent inspection on August 19 indicated everything to be satisfactory <br />The required operating reports are now being submitted and these also indicate <br />conditions to be satisfactory. <br />This office would like to go on record as being in favor of the establishment <br />of a water and sewerage utility in the Gifford area. I feel it to be a vital <br />necessity for the maintenance of a sanitary enviroment in that area. At this <br />time the only other known public water supply is that serving the Hillcrest <br />Subdivision and it has long since ceased to be satisfactory to either this <br />agency or the F.H.A. The conditions for the use of septic tanks are so poor that <br />it has been necessary to install treatment plants for a labor camp and for the <br />proposed new school. A community wide sewerage system would be a far better solution <br />that, the proliferation of small package sewage plants. <br />cc Indian River CHD <br />Lloyd & Assoc. <br />Bureau San Engr <br />File <br />y ours, <br />»rui <br />d W.
