Report on Sewer Construction, Department of Public Works
Report 1 ( September 1916 ) 46 pages

This preliminary report on the methods of sewer construction employed by the Department of Public Works of Detroit, is based on data collected through several field inspection trips and interviews with city employees directly responsible for such work. Although the time devoted to the study was necessarily limited, particular care was taken to observe not only several contracts or jobs, but observations were verified by one or more re-inspections at later dates. It is believed that the comments and suggestions presented are supported by a substantially fair and accurate view of the local practice of sewer construction. Recommendations as to the final changes in organization are not presented, because to be of value, such recommendations must be based upon a study of all branches of the Department of Public Works. This report therefore confines itself to such suggestions as may be effected without a general reorganization of the Department of Public Works.
