During the discussion that ensued after Mr. Dougherty' s presentation, I was pleased to hear that there is concern over the existing concept of the central sewer system for the entire metropolitan � area. As I listened to your comments, I could not help hut reflect on similar discussions that our City Council has held pertaining to policies that have been in existence for some years , which were based upon conditions that no longer exist. The central collection philosophy that the Saaste Control Commission operates under today was established some 15 years ago by a Board of business and political leaders. The policy that was adopted � by this Board was the philosophy of a centralized system designed � for the urbanized portion of the metropolitan area with a projected population of some four million people. The Board established a service area delineated by the 2�ZSSR line in order to provide a central sewage capacity for a projected urban population of four million people.
