Abstract
In 1944 the officials of Knoxville (Tenn.) began the engineering design of a system of intercepting sewers, pumping stations, and sewage-treatment plants, the construction of which was completed in 1955. Presented herein are the main features of the ordinances and regulations that were set up by the city officials concerning the reception of industrial wastes into the system and treatment plants. The principal features that are described are the system of charges and collections, aspects of the ordinance that protect the system and the employees from toxic wastes and other types of harmful by-products, and several case histories of the specific liquid wastes that have received special study. Included among the case histories are those of the soft-drink industry, metal-plating works, milk-processing plants, meat-packing plants, fertilizer plants, and paper manufacturers.
