RESOLUTION NO. 1667
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AIAHEIM
FIXING CHARGES FOR BIOCHEMICAL CXYGEN DEMAND
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim is a Party to an agreement for
the joint operation of the sewage system, treatment plant, and
submarine outfall known as the Orar4ee County Outfall Sewer; and.
WHEREAS the Department of Public Health of the State of Cali-
fornia, by reason of the authority vested in it by state law, has
required that emergency treatment for bacterial reduction be
instituted and maintained to protect the health of the public and
to prevent contamination of the shore waters and the beaches in the
vicinity of said submarine outfall; and
WHEREAS, said treatment lalt has been supplemented by the in-
stallation of chlorinators and sewage passing through said lines and
said plant is now treated by the direct addition of chlorine to
effect such reduction of bacteria, to maintain the beach and shore
waters within limits required by said Department of Public Health;c,
WHEREAS, the submarine outfall is now admittedly inadequate
because of the large volume and the strength of the present sewage
and it is therefore probeble that chlorination and/or other treat-
ment of sewage effluent will continue to be necessary until a
longer submarine outfall tube can be installed.; and
WHEREAS, some industrial waste deposited in the sewage collect
ing systems, because of its strength, that is, biochemical oxygen
demand, greatly adds to the cost of treatment so required; and.
WHEREAS, it has been determined that the cost of treatment is
directly proportional to the biochemical oxygen demand of the
sewage treated at the treatment plant; and
WHEREAS, the expense of treating said sewage is an unexpected
financial burden upon the members of said agreement and will contin e
to be a financial burden until the installation of a longer sub-
marine outfall tube; and

3. That for the purpose of determining the volume and strength
of sewage for which oayment is to be made,
Each industry must provide a suitable place or structure
'through which its total industrial waste passes for the

point is to be urovid.ed. s_id Engineer and a; at 11 times.
The City Engineer or is Lents will make the determina-
tion of volume and strength of the sewas from each industry
contributing biochemical oxygen demand., and said City Engineer
