Vernon 11, California
May 6, 1946
Honorable City Council
City of Vennon
Vernon, California
Gentlemen:
The sanitary sewer in Vernon Ave. Santa Fe Ave.,
and E. Vernon Ave., respectively, between Alameda St. and
a point some lOOO ft. easterly of Santa Fe Ave.) is badly
fouled and must be cleaned out immediately. This line is
mostlf 30 inch diameter pipe and is a portion of that taken
over from the City of Los Angeles under the contract of 1938.
Only a small part of the carrying capacity of this
large sewer is now being used, hence the velocity of now is
greatly reduced below optimum requirements. Notwithstanding
this greater need for maintenance it has been seven to eight
years since the sewer was cleaned.
The line must be cleaned out at once in order to
avoid the probability of complete stoppage, with consequent
menance to the City; an emergency expenditure is now re-
quired. It is recommended, therefore, that I be authorized
to eJtpend not more than $4000. for the em.plo,ment of a qual-
ifiedsewer-cleaning contractor who has the force and equip-
ment available to undertake' the work immediately.
Respectfully submitted
(Signed)
