INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER I
GENERAL
The City of Fort Wayne is a prosperous, rapidly growing center of industrial
and commercial activity. The City serves as a natural point of
focus for education, cultural activities, and trade for the entire northeastern
portion of the State.
The growth of Fort Wayne has been accompanied by all of the physical and
financial demands commonly associated with expansion - and although a
valiant effort has been made in the past decade to keep up with this demand,
it is obvious that the City is faced with the need for an even
greater effort in the years to come.
One of the major functions of the City is to provide for the collection
and disposal of sewage and other wastewaters. Because of the type of
sewers prevalent in the older areas of the City, another function of
local government - surface water drainage - has been commonly associated
and considered as an integral part of the wastewater collection function.
This Report deals with the needs for correcting and improving sanitary
sewer service and surface drainage within the old (or combined sewer
service) area of the City; and the planning for future extension of major
interceptor sewers into areas of future growth.
NEED FOR STUDY
The wastewater collection system of Fort Wayne dates back to the l860'so
Since its initiation, this system has been expanded into a vast interconnecting
network of sanitary - storm - combined and intercepting sewers ..
Service is provided for practically the entire City proper, and sanitary
sewer service extends throughout many areas about the City.
