Concord Gas Plant and Brown Mill Agree to empty Waste into City Sewers Instead of Directly into Buffalo Creek, Sept. 19, 1925

To Use City Sewage Disposal in Future. . . Concord Gas Plant and Brown Mill to Empty Refuse in City Sewers Instead of Buffalo Creek

Sewage from Brown Mill and a refuse of ammonia from the gas plant which have heretofore been poured into Buffalo Creek above the National Highway Bridge will be hereafter emptied into the city sewers and will be disposed of with the remainder of the refuse from the city.

By this arrangement, the water in Buffalo Creek above the railroad bridge, which is generally in a rather foul condition, will be improved. Since all the preliminaries have been completed, it is probable that the connections will be made within a few days.

In the past few months, several complaints have been heard from property owners along the creek and persons in the city made complaint about the condition of the creek under the highway bridge.
