Addressing the Council
Mr. Lee Brown, inquired if it would be possible to move the black top mixing
bed in the near future. City Engineer informed Mr. Brown that it would not be
possible this summer but that the length of the mixing bed could be shortened
which should help Mr. Browns situation.
Mr. John Moirison of Morrison-Maierle Engineering Co., Helena, Montana
regarding possible sewer developement in northwestern portion of the City.
Recommended preliminary study to see if development is feasible, as one
project or as a series of projects. Mr. Morrison and the City Engineer had made
a quick survey of about 160 acres of land including the Adams Addition, Northridge
Addition and school property and estimated the cost for a collection system for
such an area to be between 125,000 to 130,000 dollars, pointing out that this was
a very rough estimate.
Treatment could be by lagoon system or by a treatment plant. The main
disadvantage of the lagoon system is the land area required. The estimated total
cost would be $240,000 dollars. Some items would be el�digible for a Federal Grant
under Public Law 706, U. S. Board of Health.
A pre -study should include areas that have good possibilities of being
develfped within the next 10 to 15 years. Money for advance engineering studies
is loaned interest free but is not a grant and the lean does not have to be repaid
until the actual construction of the project starts.

Money for a pre-liminary study could be secured by applying for a loan from
the Federal Housing & Home Finance Agency. Approximate cost of this study would
be from $3,500. to $4,000. dollars.

detailed plans so that contractors will be able to submit bids. Third step,
actual construction.
