FOREWORD A pamphlet containing descriptive data on public sewer systems and sewage treatment plants in New York State was first published in 1927 and subsequently revised and updated in 1929, 1935, 1941, 1952, 1976, 1978, 1981, 1983 , 1987, 1992 and 1999. Previously known as the New York State Health Department Bulletin No. 20 for the years 1927 - 1952, these publications satisfied a general demand for the descriptive information that is contained in the document. The 1981 issue represented the first time data had been computerized, facilitating accessibility in meeting user needs. The present issue is an updating of the 1999 edition and contains information which is current through December 2003. This update process included a survey of all POTW's. We obtained a response rate of 90 percent. Included in the appendix is a sampling of the various statistical comparisons that can be developed from the stored data. The following tables compare the types of facilities and plant design sizes contained in this pamphlet with those that were shown in the 1952, 1980, 1985, 1987, 1992 and 1999 issues: Table A Treatment Type
