Re: Sewer Assessment District #1, City of Elsinore
Gentlemen:
This department has reviewed the proposed Sewer Assessment District #1,
as shown on Exhibit "A", for the City of Elsinore. The investigation by
this Department and the information submitted indicates that sewers are
needed in .this area to properly dispose of sewage wastes from dwellings
and commercial establishments.
Historically, this Department has had many complaints of failures of sewage
disposal systems, particularly in the areas between Gran. 'venue and the lake
bed. Percolation reports submitted for recent commercial installations
along the lake shore have indicated that the soil is questionable as to its
ability to absorb sewage effluent. The area along Riverside Drive northward
of Lakeshore Drive is mostly steep hillside lots to Gunnerson Road, then the
ground levels out to an area whibh was partially inundated during the heavy
rains of lg6g. The subsurface structures along this area are not considered
suitable soils for sewage effluent disposal. In the event any developments
are planned in this area, it will be necessary to reserve large areas of the
lots which can be used for no other purpose than setaage disposal.
It is the policy of this Department to regard the septic tank and under-
ground leaching systems as a temporary means of disposal of sewage effluent
pending the feasibility or necessity of the installation of a community
sewage collection and disposal system. It is the opinion of the Health
Department that sewers in this area are necessary for the preservation of
public health.
Very truly yours,
s~ Harold M. Erickson, M.D., M.P.H.
Director of Public Health
