Excerpt from Report on the Sewage Disposal Problem of New Haven

Altogether six different major processes of sewage treatment were studied; fine screening, plain sedimentation, Imbofi tank treatment, activated sludge treatment, chlorination, and the Miles acid process, with minor modifications of each. Over samples of sewage, efﬂuent and sludge, were submitted to chemical analysis and over more were examined bacteriologically. The results of our experiments, which were brought to a close in May, 1918, have now been thoroughly considered and compared: and they furnish, as we believe, a sound basis for a conclusion as to the next step to be taken in dealing with the sewage problem of New Haven.

Like all previous investigators of this problem we are convinced that the present method of discharging untreated sewage into the harbor is productive of serious nuisance and is a menace to the health of the community. The conditions are becoming intensified year by year with the increasing sewage ﬂow and are bound before long to become intolerable.

So far as the local nuisance created by the spreading out of sewage liquids and the deposition of sewage solids on the ﬂats of the upper harbor is concerned, the best remedy seems to us to be the discharge of the sewage into the deep dredged channels of the harbor, which would necessitate the construction of long outfall sewers at the Meadow and Sea Street outfalls. The attempt to remedy such conditions by digging lateral channels from a shore outfall to the main channel is only a palliative measure and has not yielded satis factory results, as applied at the Sea Street outfall.
