APPRAISAL

Administrative Historical

Records of the wastewater system from 1935 to 1945 are of historical interest because they deal with WPA projects in Utah. The record of the approval of the wastewater system and information about the system itself should be kept as long as the system is active; the information is needed for inspections and for reference in later system modifications. Activity and water analysis reports should be kept for five years; this is the period in which enforcement action may be taken. These should mostly be old records; monitoring information is now done through the NPDES files. All routine correspondence should be weeded out annually for administrative efficiency.
