CONTRACT WITH URBANA-CHAMPAIGN SANITARY DISTRICT (29) On May 22, 1948, the Board of Trustees approved in principle a program for the construction of a relieving sanitary sewer from Gregory Drive and First Street to Third and Healey Streets in Champaign, to serve the temporary housing area. T o expedite the improvement, the University was to construct the sewer and finance the entire cost. On January 18, 1949, the Executive Committee of the Board approved the award of a contract for the construction of the sewer. Details of the contract to be executed with the Urbana-Champaign Sanitary District have now been completed. The contract provides: 1. The University will superintend the construction and assume the cost thereof. 2. The University will maintain that portion of the sewer which is located on University property. 3. The University will turn over to the District that portion of sewer not located on University property and the District will maintain this portion. 4. The District will make no further requests from the University for any financial contribution toward the cost of intercepting sewer additions completed by the District in the year 1048, and to which the University has already contributed part of its proportionate share of the cost. 5. The District will submit to the University all plans for future additions to that portion of the sewer turned over to the District. If the University objects to such addition, provision is made for arbitration of the differences. 6. The District guarantees that any sewage discharged through connections hereafter made by the District will not overload the sewer to the extent insufficient capacity will remain for sewage from present or future University buildings in the areas adjacent to this sewer.
