Neuse River Slow, Expensive but Sure Si This is the .entrance ; main in the foreground and the' pumping sta tion in the background of Jthn Lm Grange sewage treatment plant. Huge, hungry looking mechanical giants with bronzed ytaung men sitting like mahouts on their head *re teaiing 8-yarA chunks uf earth out of the southeastern onramr of Kinston, and d u m ping St a; few hundred yards away as Kinston’s first sewage treatment plant siiow ly takes form. About a year from now this 25 acre lagoon will begin to receive an estimated million gallons per 'day of raw sewage, where Sn '.na ture’s way a purification process .will take place and Kinston foT the first time in two generations will begin putting less, rather than more /filth into Neuse River. For nearly a year now two fnacre lagoons have been performing tthis important job for the Town -sif La Grange. Visitors to the two ila goons in the northeast corner . oi LaGrange are amazed at what tfhey see, and more importantly, at what they do NOT smell. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of raw sew age, but rather than having the appearance and aroma of a eeas pool the area looks more like a •country club swimming pool — if a rather large one. City of Kinston officials went tot <rf th« two I; great lengths to study the best possible solution to this problem forced upon.Jthecify. by orders of mission. Long trips were made to see la goons and to talk with officials in those towns where they were lo cated. Long engineering studies and careful scrutiny of the cost factors finally led Kinston officials to the conclusion that LaGrange officials had reached much earlier: That the lagoon system was just as effective, cheaper to build, and cheaper to operate. Kinston had one problem La Grange did not have; that of ter rain, but finally engineers said it was possible and practical to lo cate such facilities in the flood plain of Neuse River in areas oth erwise useless except to “hold the world together.” Kinston purchased some over 300 acres in an area where already owned 66 acres and this area will ultimately hold at least two 25 racre lagoon which will take care of about half of the city’s raw sew :age. Ultimately at least two and pos sibly three other similar sized la goon will be built further to the .vest to take care of the western edges of the city and Caswell Training School, Frosty Morn Packing Company and other small plants in that general area if they decide to enter into a joint project. The first 25-acre lagoon will cost about $240,000 with forced lines, pumps, fencing and all other appurtenances. And for a majority of this flood plain acre area city officials have more, plans. • A 20-acre park to served the crowded Lincoln City community is to be built in the northwest corn er of the area between Tiffany and Davis Streets and South of Uni versity Street to Tampa Street. A dike around the entire area will reclaim this large tract of land for much more useful purposes than/ it has had since, time began as a breeding rounds for mosqnitoes, frogs and snakes. This is where the dike is coming from in Southeast Kinston as men and equipment from Barrus Construction Company last week began the tremendous task of moving more than 150,000 cubic yards of dirt to form the 25-acre sewage treatment lagoon for Kinston. This is where the dikes are bains built to form the 25-acre that will proems about one-fourth of Kinston’s raw sewage. When completed this dike will rise eight feet above the record fkiri knU war reached by Neuse River.
