Remarks upon the disposal of the sewage of Hobart
journal contribution
posted on 2023-11-22, 09:10 authored by Alfred MaultRead at Special Meeting-May.
A great deal of the discussion that has taken place upon the subject of the suggested methods of disposing of the sewage of the Metropolitan Drainage Area has been based upon ignorance of what has been proposed, and of the conditions under which the proposals have been made.
I have suggested three methods for the disposal of the sewage : — First, its purification by filtration through land at an irrigation farm ; second, its purification by precipitation ; and third, its discharge, after being screened, into the tideway of the Derwent.
