SECTION 8
SALT WATER SYSTEMS AND SEWAGE DISPOSALS
Salt water requirements at all temporary
camps were met through the use of shallow
water wells. The camp needs of site Elmer were
met through the use of a well in Building 301.
while the CMR arca received its supply through
a lagoon intake. An entirely new well and pumping station was built at Fred to meet the re-
quirements of that site, but due to pump difficulties this supply had to he augmented at
times bs the lagoon intakes through the old
pumping station. Although some “sanding up”
of the wells was experienced, on the whole they
proved far more advantageous as a source
of salt water than the open lagoon intakes.
Marine growths and other foreign materials
were effectively screened through well operation. On the other hand the marine growths and
foreign material, particularly paper trash from
vessels in the harbor. entering wells through a
lagoon intake excessively aggravated the operational work load of the CMR power plant.
At all pumping stations, except the CMR
area, both motor driven and gas engine driven
pumps were provided to insure reliability of
the salt water supply. Tower tanks were installed which rode the distribution system, thereby
providing the necessary head. The pipe networks
‘vere generally constructed of as estos cement
pipe of various sizes. Except for a few breaks
in the piping system (the normal incicence cf
accidental breakage), there were no particular
problems in the salt water distribution systems.
