Total number of applications to date, 482. Total number of connections in service, 463. Length of connections laid during 1906, 1193 feet. Total length of connections in service, 29248.
There have been three stoppages in street sewers and one in a house connection during the year. The filter beds are in good condition and ample in area to dispose of the present flow of sewage, it is doubtful however if we can go through another year without an addition to the sludge beds.
