Above Quotes
In some of the great cities of Europe - Paris, Vienna, Prague, and Brussels - tourists bored with life above ground can descend below. All these cities have sewer museums and tours, and all expose their underbelly willingly to the curious. But not London, arguably the home of the most splendid sewer network in Europe.

Homes Quotes
There are the ones who have a lot of land and want to be annexed because they want the sewer to make the land more valuable and the lots smaller. Then there are the people with homes with working septic tanks that don't see why they should pay to hook into a sewer system they don't intend to use.

Appearance Quotes
Since employees start over at step one when they are promoted, going from firefighter to lieutenant results in a loss of about $1.50 per hour, and lieutenant to captain results in a loss of about 50 cents per hour. But other departments have the same problem, specifically in the Police Department and the Water and the Community Appearance departments. In the Water and Sewer Board, you have many different levels of work, which makes it more likely that you will have promotion problems. That?s why it gets very expensive to fix all of the departments of the city at the same time. The cost depends on the size of the department.

Amount Quotes
Since funding this service is included as line items in both the water and sewer and engineering divisions' annual budgets, only the first year of the contract is funded, ... It is noted within the contract itself that fiscal years 2007 and 2008 are subject to appropriations. The fiscal year 2006 amount is not to exceed $33,940 in the engineering division, the amount of that appropriation, and the same amount in the water and sewer division. The three year total is not to exceed $240,480.

Assets Quotes
I say we have not even had the decency to maintain the assets that our parents and grandparents built for us - our roads, our bridges, our wastewater systems, our sewer systems; by the way, those weren't Bolsheviks, those weren't socialists that built those things for us - much less build the infrastructure we need for the 21st century.

City Quotes
Our goal ... is to turn that completely around and make that one of the premiere neighborhoods in the town. We're going to do everything the city can do to improve that area. We're going to do water, sewer and roads. We're going to put in curbs and sidewalks. ... We're going to look at a fence program. ... We're going to put in the decorative streetlights that will match the streetlights in the city center.

Award Quotes
There is money for the west sewer plant. The key point is that everything is on target for us to meet the Oct. 4 predicted date to award a contract to construct the west plant. There's a whole series of hoops that we have to jump through and yesterday was one of that series. We've cleared that hoop and we're still on target.
-
Agreement Quotes
We understand the sewer challenge. But the only way it (construction of a sanitary sewer system) will happen is if something triggers it. If it gets triggered, it will take a mutual agreement with IDEM, the town of Eaton, county council and hopefully Mr. Russell to sit down and come up with a solution.
-
Acquire Quotes
We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet. In my view we have nothing to show for it. We haven't invested in our roads, our bridges, our waste-water systems, our sewer systems. We haven't even maintained the assets that our parents and grandparents built for us.
-
Emergency Quotes
While this is unfortunate and something we did not want to do, in order to stabilize the sewer utility this increase is necessary. This administration needs to stabilize the sewer utility rate so if we are pressed with an emergency we do not have to go back to the taxpayers for a further increase.
-
Alabama Quotes
We went through the Alabama Rural Water Association to help us calculate our rates, ... We looked at about eight scenarios to see what effect they would have. We want it to have a minimum effect on our fixed income folks. Most stay under 2,000-gallon usage, so their sewer rates will stay the same. We did take that into consideration.

Area Quotes
The most feasible route would begin at the treatment plant on Camelot Drive and run down Russell Mills Road, then down Jordan Road, underneath Forges Field, down Bump Rock Road onto Long Pond Road and then down to the high school. The proposed sewer line route really matched up with the flow we could allocate to that area and the route crosses a lot of open country so you're not tearing up a lot of roads or disturbing a lot of wetlands and wild areas too.

Accessible Quotes
SYLPH, n. An immaterial but visible being that inhabited the air when the air was an element and before it was fatally polluted with factory smoke, sewer gas and similar products of civilization. Sylphs were allied to gnomes, nymphs and salamanders, which dwelt, respectively, in earth, water and fire, all now insalubrious. Sylphs, like fowls of the air, were male and female, to no purpose, apparently, for if they had progeny they must have nested in accessible places, none of the chicks having ever been seen.

Except Quotes
I rarely do anything on the show by myself. I don't want it to be about me. Squatting in the sewer in San Francisco, it's really hot, we're up to our knees in a river of (excrement). Rats and cockroaches are all over. I would never, ever walk into that environment, except for the fact that the guy who does it every day is squatting next to me.

Anticipate Quotes
The last rate increase was in 1996. Apple Valley and Howard residents are at a $33 quarterly rate. Since they are all on the countywide sewer system, I think it would be a good idea to keep the rates standard. We also anticipate the need for some maintenance coming up in the future on this subdivision's system.
