A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO AUTHORIZING EMERGENCY
INSTALLATION OF CYPRESS AVENUE SANITARY SEWER
LINE
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
South San Francisco that:
WHEREAS, the City Council, after inspection and report
of the Director of Public Works, finds and determines that
an emergency exists because of the following facts:
1. On or about December 24, 1962, the City sewer crew
discovered that sewage was backing up in the Cypress Avenue
sanitary sewer due to a stoppage located somewhere under the
Linde Company building on Linden Avenue.
2. The sewer crew was unable to relieve the stoppage
and subsequently determined that the top of the sewer under
the Linde Company building had collapsed and that rock and
earth from the underlying fill had caved in, partially
obstructing the sewer to a depth of approximately 15 inches
creating a void under the floor of the Linde Company building.
3. Inspection determined that the sewer pipe break was
unde~ the concrete floor of the Linde Company building approx-
imately 2 feet from a heavy acetylene generator located in the
building, and that the existing condition could cause a
collapse thereby breaking the pipes carrying acetylene gas
under pressure, which could result in a disastrous explosion.
4. Excavations at or near the heavy acetylene generator
could also cause a collapse and render such a proposal in-
feasible.
NOW, THEREFORE, on the foregoing findings and determin-
ations, the City Council concludes and declares that public
interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of
public monies to safeguard the life, health and property by
installing a by-pass for the existing Cypress Avenue sanitary
sewer in the vicinity of the Linde Company building, and
further that a contract be awarded to Lowrie Paving Company
to construct a 21" sewer by-pass in accordance with the
plan entitled "Cypress Sanitary Sewer By-Pass at Linde Co.
Warehouse", said work to be completed for the amount of
$10,070.
I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was
regularly introduced and adopted by the City Council
of the City of South San Francisco at a
meeting held on the ~rd day of
19 62, by the following vote:
