29 stated the point is that those peple, other than the overtime, would be part of the City's budget anyway unless you employed them because of this job. Mr. Malone said other than the overtime and the equipment rental that is true. City Engineer Smith stated the total of those two invoices are $135,640.53. Mr. Smith said at that point in time the City had flow re-established to the plant which also services Kimberly Clark at that point. He said Kimberly Clark's lift station discharges into the manhole next to the driveway at B & W where the salaried employees park. He said this whole line from the highway to the lift station is serving Kimberly Clark, B & W, and Southwest Foundry. Mr. Malone said under the present environmental regulations the discharge from plants like B & W and Campbell's Soup have been improved significantly. He said, in fact, what has happened to this line is, that probably in years prior to the type regulations we are under now with industrial pretreatment orders, the actual damage to the line was probably due to the input of the plant into the line. He said normally when someone damages your equipment you would go back to them. He said this has been much the same case we have had with other industries in Paris because at one time there was not really any real regulations. He said had these type materials not ever been introduced into the system the line would probably have held for many more years. Chairman Cecil asked if the line served any residential customers. Mr. Smith said yes, that the line proceeds on up to Brown Avenue and stops around Washington Street. Chairman Cecil said it would be accurate to say then that for the most part this line is used for industrial use, and Mr. Smith agreed. Mr. Smith said before they started this line he applied normal engineering techniques looking at areas served and estimated how much flow could be generated from a plant. He said that is how he determined it would be prudent to use a 15" line. He said he could not see going back with an 8" line and then they would not be able to do anything with it if someone wanted to site another industry in that area. He said the line is oversized with a lot extra capacity. He said the project still lacks clean up and the flow still needs to be reversed on approximately 100 ft. of sewer to make it work more properly. He said there still exists on the south side of the railroad tracks approximately 800 ft. of the 8" concrete pipe, and it is the same type we had this problem with which needs replacing. Mr. Smith said they are going to try to wait until summer to finish the rest of the project. Chairman Cecil asked City Manager Malone and City Engineer Smith what specifically their request was. City Manager Malone stated the City is asking for reimbursement to the Water and Sewer Funds where the money came from which included the approximate $99,000.00 plus the invoices from Public Works Department. Mr. Malone also said when the City completes the project in the summer which would be labelled Phase II they would come back to the Corporation at that time.
