blowers, compressors and pumps. The processed
sludge is used by farmers and gardeners as
fertilizer. Detergents are hard to remove and
may show up in drinking water. Large cities
use a second settling tank and a new treat- j
ment that appears capable of removing it from!
sewage privies and septic tanks should be kcp|
away from drinking water as it may be contami
j nated by typhoid and paratyphoid fever. Also
I dysenary or cholera may be present. If un
treated waste is dumped on the ground, it is
dangerous of fly-borne diseases such as tape
worms and hookworms. A simple pit privy is a
i sa'fe method v/ith cover to keep out flies.
I Pollution does not penetrate very into the
soil. Two ieot m porous soil and denser soil
to one 4£ot. Little horizontal movement into
soil is made. Intestinal bacteria horizontal
movement 1 foot and downward is up to five
feet. It should not be dug so deep so as not '
to pollute the drinking water supply. It
should bo on the down hill from the well at
least 50 to 100 feet away not in limestone or
fissured rock. Lime is used to control or
limit odors. No disinfectants should be used
as they destroy bacteria for decomposing
the waste. Kerosene can be used if water
gets in to kill mosquitoes. Cesspools are not
recommended without a septic tank. If we are
careful with waste, we can prevent sickness
and possible death in our water supply.
