TCHULA PLANNING SANITARY SURVEY
A sanitary survey and vector control program in Tchula got underway on November 30 under supervision of the State Board of Health in cooperation with the Holmes County Health Department and the Town of Tchula.
This survey will determine the exact sanitary conditions of the town and the report to be made will show the deficiencies as they now exist.
Mayor Frank Wooten and the Board of Aldermen of the Town of Tchula have been planning with the State Board of Health sanitation workers for this survey in order to develop a balanced sanitation program in Tchula.
An analysis of the survey being conducted reveals that the following program activities will be studied during the survey:
1. A progressive program for the elimination of all privies within the city limits by requiring connections to existing municipal sewer lines and promotion of sewer extensions where needed.
2. A sanitary refuse storage program to correct existing deficiencies in agreement with standard sanitary practices.
3. An improved refuse collection program, providing daily commercial collection and twice weekly residential collection.
4. A sanitary landfill for refuse disposal.
5. Requirements for strict adherence to good sanitary practices in the keeping of animals and poultry.
6. A municipal drainage program developed in cooperation with the city engineer.
7. Activate corrective measures for the control of sanitation deficiencies in fringe areas.
8. Judicious insecticidal and rodenticidal programs as needed to supplement the environmental sanitation activities.
9. An educational program designed for local citizen participation in the correction of environmental sanitation deficiencies.
10. Preparation and adoption of the necessary ordinances or correction of existing ordinances to attain the desired objectives.
11. The establishment and continuation of an evaluation program.
Every citizen of the town is urged to give full cooperation to this survey and give correct answers to the questions asked while the survey is being conducted.
