BE IT RESOLVED that whereas the district composed of the

leases permit Placentia, Garden Grove and La Habra Sanitary Districts
to use said outfall, having constructed a joint outfall sewer emptyijg
raw sewage into the Pacific Ocean only a few hundred feet from the
corporate limits of the City of Newport peach, have been given until
June 1927 to abate this nuisance of the outfall a distance of 2900
feet into the Pacific Ocean and to a depth of 40 feet of water.
AND WHEREAS: the said cities prior to the formation of the
district for the construction of the joint outfall sewer made definite
promises to the representatives of the City of Newport, Beach, that if
the City would not raise any barriers.or otherwise interfere,by the
annexation of land or other proeedure,with the building of their joint
outfall sewer into the Pacific Ocean, they, the cities composing the'
district would see to it that all of said - sewage would be properly and
effedtuEJ1 septieised before•-emptyin - into ' th6 --P$rific'OOean.and' ,.-o
would not 3n any manner what -so -ever oecome a menace to the inhabitants
of the City of Newport beach.
AND WHEREAS: regardless of said definite „promis &s no effort
whatever has been made on the part of the said cities to septicise any
of the sewage now empying into the Pacific aoean.
AND WHEREAS: The cities of Newport Beach "and Huntington Beach
have both at great expense installed septic tanks of sufficient capacity
to properly septioise the sewage of their individual cities and have
thus positively and permanently handled their own sewer problems in a'
satisfactory and sanitary manner.
AND WHEREAS: the sewage carried through the outfall jointly
owned and operated by the cities of Santa Ana,Anaheim,Fullerton and
Orange is simply treated by a disintegrating plant abd is then passed
into the Pacific Ocean in minute particles(and then only when the
disintergrating plant is in proper operation) and in such a state is
still offensive in the greatest possible degree and is absolutely
unsanitary.
AND WHEREAS: A bypass is maintained at the disintergrating
plant and that many times and for divers reasons the said by -pass is
used and that raw swwage in its natural state is then carried through
the outfall sewer into the Pacific Ocean.
AND WHEREAS: both disintegrat &a sewage and raw untreated sewage
i deposited by incoming tides u on the beach inside the City Limits
o the ity of Newport each, and is thereby not onlu unsightly, and
of an extremely offensive odor,but is highly unsanitary.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that we, the Board of Trustees
of the City of Newport beach do rotest to the State Board of health
the permission of any system of treating sewage that provides for
disintegration only, and that we urge, request and recommend that a
system of septic tanks be immediately installed as an adjunct to the
present joint outfall sewers system of the Cities of Santa Ana,Anaheim,
Fullerton and Orange, and that a period of not more than ten months
be given to the.said cities for the proper installation of said
septic tanks.
FURTHER: °that a copy of this resolution be embodied in the
minutes of the meeting, and that a copy be filed with the State Board
