Short, Dir. of Public Works Gentlemen_: SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewers, Vicinity of Acacia Avenue and Pepper Street, No. 510827 City of El Segundo RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that sanitary sewers be. installed in this District. ANALYSIS: This Department has made an investigation of the area of the proposed sanitary sewer dis- trict #510827 in the vicinity of Acacia Avenue and Pepper Street as shown on the attached map. This investigation resealed that the soil within the area of this proposed sanitary sewer district is silty sand with some clay interspersed. Thic type of soil is not conducive to any type of individual sub - surface sewage dis- posal system and such systems when installed cannot be expected to junction satisfactorily over any great period of time without creating an insanitary condition. This means additional expense for the property owner for pumping of the cesspools or the con- struction of new cesspcols in order to abate any insanitary con- dition.. -2- "In view of our investigation it is respectfully recom- mended that sanitary sewers be installed in this district as an improvement necessary to the protection of Public Health. This recommendation is made pursuant to the pro- visions of Section 2808 of the Streets and Highways Code. Very truly yours, /s/ K. H. Sutherland M. D. KENNETH H. SUTHERLAND, M.
