Scope and Content
Collection documents the construction of sewerage in the City of Dallas between 1910 and 1915.
Sanitary sewers have the purpose of conveying domestic and industrial wastewater away from their sources to a wastewater treatment plant and are operated separately and independently of storm drains, which carry the runoff of rain and other water which wash into city streets. Sanitary lines generally consist of laterals (services to a particular unit), mains, and manholes. Wastewater has been collected by City of Dallas since the 1880s and the City’s first sewage treatment plant became operational in 1917.
Collection contains typescript and printed contracts, bid specifications and proposals, and correspondence between the City of Dallas and Dallas Lime and Gravel Company in 1913.

The collection is arranged chronologically.
