PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />Division of <br />Engineering <br />July 21, 1981 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />Fourth Floor, County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Councilmen: <br />(219) 284 -9251 <br />The attached is a proposed ordinance requesting an appropriation of <br />$60,000.00 for the purchase of two street sweepers. Funds are available <br />from the Sewage Works Depreciation Fund to make this purchase. <br />The Wastewater Treatment Plant has experienced additional costs for mainten- <br />ance and repair due to sand and debris entering the sewer system and the <br />wastewater treatment plant. The only possible way to eliminate this problem <br />is to remove as much of this type of debris from the streets before it <br />enters the sewer system. We hope to accomplish this goal by the purchase <br />of two street sweepers. This will reduce the long term costs of the treat- <br />ment plant thereby helping to keep sewage rates down. <br />If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free <br />to contact me. <br />Very truly yours, <br />John E. Leszczynski <br />Director <br />JEL /mkm <br />Attachment <br />
