REPORT OF HEALTH OFFICER
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES
COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES
May 22, 1974
Honorable City Council
City of Rosemead
8838 Valley Blvd.
Rosemead, California
Gentlemen:
Subject: Sanitary Sewers in Proposed Municipal Improvement
District - Sanitary Sewers in Highcliff St.,
City of Rosemead.
Recommendation: It is respectfully recommended that sanitary sewers
be installed in this district.
Analysis: This department has made an investigation of the
subject district as shown on the attached map.
During the course of this investigation, eleven house-to-house calls
were made. Of this number, one occupant was not at home, or did not
answer the door. Of the ten property owners or tenants actually
contacted, four or 40% reported having experienced trouble with their
individual subsurface sewage disposal systems. They complained of the
seepage pits filling up, causing raw sewage to back up into the house
plumbing fixtures or to overflow onto the surface of the ground.
Frequent pumping and cleaning out of the seepage pits or the
construction of new pits was necessary.....,-_-
The houses in the area are about 15 years old. The individual subsurface
systems are apparently becoming inoperative due to the sealing off of
the seepage pit percolation surfaces..
In view of our survey, I, the undersigned Health Officer of the County
of Los Angeles, having been officially designated by the City Council
of the City of Rosemead to perform public health services in the City
of Rosemead, do hereby recommend that proceedings be instituted at
once for the installation of sanitary sewers in this district as an
improvement necessary to the protection of public health. This
recommendation is made pursuant to the provision of Section 2808
of the Streets and Highways Code.
Very truly yours,
Ralph R. Sachs, M.D., M.P.H.
Deputy Director
Community Health Services
3) Adopt (by not less than four-fifths vote of all members of the
Council) the resolution finding the construction of sewers
necessary as a health measure.
