WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of E1 Segundo, California,

209 West Franklin
E1 Segundo, California
Attention: Mr. Donald R. Short, Dir:ctor of Public Works
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT; Proposed Sanitary Sewer District No. 501115,
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
district #{501115, located in that portion of East Maple
Avenue, lying and being between California and Center
Streets and in that portion of California Street lying
and being between Walnut and Palm Avenues.
The results of this investigation indicate that six property
owners or tenants were contacted. This is a newly developed
and sparsley populated section of town. Most of the homes
are from three months to two and one -half years of age.
One property owner stated that their cesspool overflowed
after eight months use and they made arrangements to connect
to the sewer. The soil in the area of this District consists
of fine sand silt and some clay. This type of soil is not
conducive to any type of individual sub - surface sewage
disposal system and systems installed in this area cannot
be expected to function satisfactorily over any great period
of time without creating an insanitary condition.

Several domestic water wells of the El Segundo City
Water Department are located in very close proximity
to the homes in this District. In fact one residence
at 836 California Street has a cesspool within
approximately one hundred feet of one of these wells.
This cesspool is located to the North of this water
well and in what this Department would assume as
directly in line - from North to South - with the
underground water flow.
This Department has also been informed that on other
vacant lots adjacent to this well, restrictions have
been imposed to prevent building on these lots until
such time as sewers are available. This restriction
was a measure necessary to preclude the possibility
of contaminating this city water supply well with sewage.
In view of our survey and due to the close proximity
of the E1 Segundo Water Supply wells to this area,
this Department respectfully recommends that proceedings
be instituted at once for the installation of sanitary
sewers as an improvement necessary to the protection
of public health. This recommendation is made pursuant
to the provisions of Section 2808 of the Streets and
Fighways Code. n
Very truly yours,
