provide that all sewage effluent be deposited into the sanitary sewer disposal
facilities of the Water District.

effluent to smnd on open fields or an Ordinance requiring that sewage effluent
be disposed of into the sanitary sewer facilities throughout the entire City.

disposal of sewage effluent, which had been presented at the 3:00 p.m. portion

the City's power to regulate sewage effluent, if he had ever referred this
problem to the Cypress County Water District. Mr. Duncan replied that he

responsibility in conjunction with Ordinance No. 39.

Ordinance regulating the disposal of sewage effluent, and stated that he would
contact the Manager of the Water District, asking that the problem raised by
Mr. Duncan be investigated. The City Attorney further explained that the

tion over the sewers within the District boundaries.
