SEWAGE CHLORINATION.
tenders opened next week
Tenders will be opened next Wednesday by the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board for the supply and installation of a chlorination plant at the main outfall works at Orakei for the purpose of eliminating odours and disinfecting the effluent discharged.' In his report to the board after his trip to America and Europe, Mr. H. H. Watkins, engineer and secretary to the board, reported in connection with the chlorination of sewage as follows: —_
"The chlorination of sewage for disinfection purposes is extensively practised abroad, more particularly in the United States. It is applied to sewage either from solution tanks or by specially designed flow-regulating devices. Chlorination plants at sewage treatment works are installed for disinfecting sewage effluents to protect water supplies, bathing beaches, and shellfishgrowing areas, and also for odour and fly control and the prevention of filter clogging."
