ESTIMATES OF COST
In order to estimate the cost of installing a sewage-disposal plant and
of treating continuously the sewage from any residence, certain
fundamental assumptions are always necessary. In the first place, the
unit cost of the manual labor which forms so large a part of the total
cost of construction must be known for the particular time and place,
and perhaps no item in the cost of construction is so important as this.
In a great many small installations it may be excluded altogether, since
all the hand work required is contributed by the householder at such
times as the other work of the place may allow, without any additional
cost. In other places, if a money value be placed on such labor, it may
be expressed in terms of the cost of a hired man whose rate of wages,
paid monthly, in addition to board, would be always less than if wages
were paid to day laborers living at their own homes. Again, in the
southern part of the country labor may be had for $1.25 a day, whereas
in the central portion of the United States it is necessary to pay $1.75
a day, and in the extreme West from $2.00 to $3.00 a day for common
labor. Often, too, the working day is of different length in different
parts of the country. In the estimates which follow, labor is assumed to
cost $1.60 for eight hours’ work, that is, at the rate of twenty cents
an hour. If, in adapting the estimates of this chapter to any particular
installation, the question of labor may be neglected because of the fact
that the householder will himself do all the required work, then the
item of labor cost may be eliminated. If other units than those here
assumed are suitable for the particular locality where any plant is to
be built, then the labor item must be modified accordingly.
_Material._—The cost of material always varies very greatly in different
parts of the country. This is partly because of different freight and
other transportation rates between the factories where material is made
up and the particular place where that material is to be used; and
partly because the profits made by the middleman increase as the
material gets further and further away from the centres of civilization.
Thus, in a large city six-inch sewer pipe may be sold in such large
quantities that the freight rate is low and the dealer is satisfied with
a small profit on each foot of pipe. In the country districts the dealer
sells but little, and feels that he must have a larger profit to
compensate him for the expense of keeping the material on hand. Thus,
six-inch sewer pipe may be had at prices ranging from six cents up to
sixteen cents per running foot, depending on the store from which it is
bought.
It is evident, therefore, that it will not be possible to name any unit
price which will be generally applicable, and it will be necessary for
any intending builder to secure from local firms the unit prices from
which his own individual estimate may be made up. The following
discussion, however, will indicate the items comprising the necessary
estimate, and will furnish an example by which the estimate sheet can be
prepared.
_Laying Sewers and Drains._—The main drain from the house to the sewage
disposal plant is of five- or six-inch pipe generally, the former being
sufficiently large and a little cheaper than the six-inch pipe. The
latter has the advantage of size and consequent greater freedom from
clogging. The cost of five-inch pipe at a store in a village of any
considerable size should be ten cents per foot, and the cost of six-inch
pipe twelve cents per foot.
This pipe weighs twelve and fifteen pounds per foot respectively, and,
with an ordinary wagon, fifty feet of six-inch pipe, weighing about
eight hundred pounds, is a load; if four trips a day are possible from
the residence to the store and if the cost of the team is estimated at
$4 a day, each trip will cost $1, and each foot of pipe will cost two
cents more for being hauled from the store to the grounds.
In laying the pipe, cement and sand are necessary for joints. For both
kinds of pipe there is required about one cubic foot of mortar for each
fifty joints, the mortar being sufficient to fill the joints and to make
a collar or ring outside. In order to make this cubic foot of mortar,
half a bag of cement and half a cubic foot of sand will be required. The
cost of the cement out of the village store is about fifty cents a bag,
although in a small place it may be seventy-five cents, or even one
dollar. If one were buying cement in large quantities, a price as low as
thirty cents a bag might be had. If the cement is delivered in cloth
bags, a rebate of ten cents a bag is usually given if the bag is
returned in good condition.
The cost of sand is usually dependent upon the cost of hauling. It will
require forty minutes to shovel one yard of sand into a wagon, or at
twenty cents an hour it would cost about fifteen cents. The cost of
shovelling sand through a screen depends upon the amount of material
which has to be rejected, since only a certain proportion of the sand is
available for all that is shovelled. The cost of this shovelling is
again about fifteen cents per cubic yard of material shovelled, and if
one-third of it is coarse gravel which has to be rejected, one and
one-half yards would have to be screened for every yard of sand
available, and the cost would, therefore, be twenty cents for screening,
a total cost of sand in the wagon of thirty-five cents per yard. If four
loads of sand can be delivered per day, with a cost of fifty cents per
hour for team and driver, the sand will cost $1.35 per yard on the
grounds, this amount being increased or decreased if the number of trips
per day must be made less or more.
_Excavation._—The cost of excavation depends on the character of the
material and on the amount of water present, the cost of pumping or
bailing the latter, if in large quantity, adding materially to the cost
of shovelling. The material through which the trenches are driven may
vary from a sand which can be shovelled without loosening, to solid rock
which must be blasted, an intermediate condition of soil being known as
hardpan and its excavation costing nearly as much time and effort as
rock itself. If the soil is sand, into which a shovel or spade can be
pushed without any picking of the material, the cost, as already stated,
will be about fifteen cents a cubic yard for shovelling, and if the
excavation is in trench and not more than six feet deep, the entire
trench can be excavated for seven and a half cents a lineal foot. It is
very unusual, however, to have conditions so favorable that such a low
price can be counted on. If the material requires picking, instead of
fifteen cents a cubic yard it will cost thirty cents a cubic yard, and a
trench two feet wide and six feet deep will cost fifteen cents a running
foot instead of seven and a half cents. If care is not taken at the
start to throw the dirt well back, it will be necessary to re-handle the
dirt from the bottom of the trench, throwing it back on the pile, and
this will add from five to ten cents a cubic yard, depending on what
proportion of the entire excavation has to be re-handled. In the
excavation for a tank, it is quite possible that the entire material may
have to be re-handled and the cost thus be increased by fifteen cents a
cubic yard. If the ground is very hard, as when boulders and clay are
intermixed, it may require twice as much time for loosening as for
shovelling, in which case the cost of digging the trench will be
forty-five cents a cubic yard, or twenty-two and a half cents per lineal
foot, with five or ten cents added if the material has to be re-handled.
If the material is a loose sand or gravel, the trench will probably
require sheeting, that is, boards or planks on each side of the open
trench with braces between, in order to prevent caving of the banks. If
new lumber has to be purchased for this purpose and its cost added to
the cost of excavation, an additional sum per cubic yard or per lineal
foot will be added, somewhat in proportion to the total amount of
excavation to be done. Finally, if the soil through which the trench is
being dug contains water, it may be necessary to have one or two men
continuously pumping during all the time that the excavation is going
on, and this also will add to the cost per cubic yard or per lineal foot
of the trench.
Refilling may be done by hand or may be done by a drag scraper at the
end of a rope, so that the team of horses may be on one side of the
trench and draw into it from the other side the excavated material. This
costs only five cents per cubic yard. If the dirt is thrown back by
hand, the cost will be that of shovelling, namely, about fifteen cents
per cubic yard. If the dirt has to be tamped in the trench, the cost
will then be that of another man, and backfilling will often add thirty
cents a cubic yard to the cost of excavation.
As a summary, it may be said that excavation alone in earth may cost
from fifteen cents to forty-five cents a cubic yard, and that
backfilling may add to this from five to thirty cents a cubic yard, the
entire cost, therefore, varying from twenty cents to seventy-five cents
a cubic yard for excavation and backfilling together. Nor is it possible
to be more definite in explaining the proper price to put on excavation
since the character of the material and the nature of the excavation are
of such importance in fixing that cost. If the excavation is for a tank,
it is often possible to rig a derrick with a long arm on the side of the
excavation and, by means of a bucket, transfer the excavated material
from the hole to the bank cheaper than by repeated shovelling or by
carrying out the dirt in a wheelbarrow. Wheelbarrow work is always
expensive, the cost of transporting earth in a wheelbarrow a distance of
fifty feet being about ten cents a cubic yard. Sometimes a horse may be
used to great advantage to lift the bucket and operate the derrick in
place of a hand-worked windlass, although the use of the horse is hardly
worth while unless the excavation is more than ten feet deep.
The excavation for the trenches of a sub-surface irrigation system
cannot be estimated on the same basis as for a larger trench. More time
is required proportionally in trimming and grading the sides and bottom,
so that the cost per cubic yard is much increased. Thus, while such
trenches contain about one cubic foot of earth per lineal foot, and on
the basis of twenty-seven cents per yard would cost only one cent per
lineal foot to dig, it is probable that, under ordinary conditions, this
amount would be doubled.
The cost of underdrains must be made up from the cost of the pipe used
and the cost of the necessary excavation. In the bottom of artificial
filter beds, the latter amounts to little or nothing. In natural filter
beds, the trenches are deeper and the cost of the underdrainage depends
largely on this excavation cost. The cost of the pipe varies from two to
ten cents per foot, depending on the kind of pipe used and its unit
cost.
_Rock Excavation._—If the trench or the place for the tank is to be in
rock, the cost of excavation is much increased. The rock must be drilled
and blasting powder or dynamite used to loosen the material so that it
can be thrown out later by hand. In ordinary rock, a man will drill from
six inches to twelve inches of hole per hour, that is, the hole will
cost from ten to twenty cents per lineal foot. The depth of the hole
determines the amount of rock loosened per charge. If the holes are
three feet deep, about one-third of a cubic yard is loosened per hour,
while if the holes are five feet deep, one cubic yard of rock is
loosened per hour. This indicates at once the economical advantage of
deep holes compared with shallow ones. In the first case, nine lineal
feet of hole would have to be drilled in order to get one cubic yard of
rock, nearly double the amount required where the hole is five feet
deep. Usually the distance between the holes is made equal to the depth
of the holes, although in some rock the depth can, with advantage, be
made greater than that distance. If the rock is very loose and seamy,
deep holes may sometimes not be warranted, because the effect of the
blasting is taken up by the loose rock in such a way that the value of
the explosive is not realized. Shallower holes, more frequently blasted,
utilize the explosive gases more completely.
The kind of explosive which may be used varies from slow, low-power
black powder to rapid, high-power nitro-glycerine, the many forms of
dynamite and high-grade powder in use being combinations of
nitro-glycerine with some absorbent. In most cases, ordinary blasting
powder is suitable for rock excavation in small quantity. It lifts the
rock rather than shatters it, and is more convenient and safe to handle.
Forty-per-cent dynamite is to be recommended where the rock is very
seamy so that quick-acting explosive is essential, and also where the
rock is very hard, so that black powder tends to blow out the hole
rather than to shatter the rock. The cost of forty-per-cent dynamite is
about twenty cents per pound, and the cost of powder is about twelve
cents per pound. On the average, it may be assumed that it will require
one pound of the former and one and a half pounds of the latter per
cubic yard of ordinary rock excavated. The cost of lifting the blasted
material out of the trench will be at about the same rate as that of
earth.
_Concrete._—The walls of tanks made of concrete depend for their cost
upon the cost of the material and the cost of the labor involved. It is
usually more economical to use gravel as the basis of the concrete if
any is available, and in order that the product may be of good quality
it is always best to screen this gravel, separating it into sand and
stone. The proper size of screen for this operation should be not
greater than one-half-inch mesh. The stone and sand can then be
re-combined with the cement in the proportion of one part of cement to
two and a half parts of sand to five parts of stone, this mixture making
a very strong and impervious combination. The cost of this mixture
depends chiefly on the length of haul for the gravel and on the natural
grading of the material. If the proportions required for concrete exist
naturally in the bank or stream bed from which the gravel is to be
obtained, there is little or no waste involved in screening, and the
only cost is that of handling the material twice. If, on the other hand,
the amount of stone is inadequate, it may be necessary to waste a good
deal of the fine sand and enough material has to be shovelled to produce
the required amount of coarse media. Assuming that the cost of
shovelling the material from the stream bed is fifteen cents a cubic
yard, and that the haul is two miles, so that four trips a day are made,
then the gravel can be delivered where it is to be converted into
concrete at a cost of one dollar for hauling and thirty cents for
shovelling, while if the haul is only one mile, so that eight trips a
day can be made, the cost will be eighty cents per cubic yard. If any
waste of gravel is necessary, these costs will be increased
correspondingly.
At the site of the proposed plant the sand and gravel must be mixed with
the cement and carried to place. It has been found by experience when
the mixing is done thoroughly and by hand, and when the resulting
concrete can be shovelled directly behind the forms, that the cost of
the mixing and placing is about one dollar per cubic yard of concrete.
If the concrete has to be wheeled into place this cost will be added to.
In order to make a cubic yard of concrete, it is necessary to have
nearly one cubic yard of the coarse material, whether this be rounded
stones from a gravel bank or angular stones from a stone-crusher.
Seven-eighths of a cubic yard of stone may be safely considered as
necessary for a cubic yard of concrete. To this must be added
three-eighths of a cubic yard of sand for a one to two and a half to
five mixture. When this amount of stone and sand have been thoroughly
mixed together, four and a half bags of cement should be added. Inasmuch
as the variation in sizes of the individual particles of rounded gravel
is such that a dense concrete results naturally, it is quite reasonable
both to increase the amount of stone and decrease the amount of cement
if that variation in size seems to be one which will produce a dense
mixture. Thus one cubic yard of stone, one-third cubic yard of sand, and
four bags of cement may be used and will, under favorable conditions,
result in a good concrete. In order to determine whether this latter
combination is permissible on any particular piece of work, a test may
be made by thoroughly mixing the materials together in the proportions
named and testing the volume of this mixture (B) in a box of measured
dimensions. Then the same volumes mixed together in the former
proportions (mixture A), and tested in the same box will show the
relative value by occupying either more or less space than the other
mixture (B). If less, mixture A is a better one, and should be used; if
more, then the latter mixture, B, is the better one.
The amount of water required for mixing concrete depends upon the
temperature of the outside air as well as upon the personal ideas of the
person in charge of the mixing. Some builders like wet concrete and some
like dry concrete. It should be noticed, however, that wet concrete is
cheaper because it requires little or no tamping. Wet concrete, however,
should be spaded, that is, a spade forced down into the mixture,
particularly against the forms, so that particles of air caught between
the stones may escape, and so that there may be no pockets between the
stones into which the liquid cement mixture does not penetrate. It is
generally considered that about fifteen per cent of the volume of
concrete is the necessary volume of water for the mixture. This amounts
to thirty gallons, or a barrel of water, to a yard of concrete, although
the sizes of barrels vary, and a cement barrel would not be large
enough, and a road-oil barrel would be too large.
The cost of forms depends, again, on the cost of material and on the
cost of labor. Rough lumber varies in price from twenty to forty dollars
a thousand feet, board measure, delivered on the grounds, and the cost
of framing and placing it varies from eight to twenty dollars per
thousand, depending on the skill of the carpenters and on their daily
wages. In order to estimate the cost of the lumber required for building
false work, it is best to determine exactly the amount of lumber
required, and get the price from a lumber yard on that quantity.
Ordinarily, it is safe to say that a carpenter in building forms will be
able to saw and nail in place 250 board feet per day, so that, knowing
the amount of lumber to be used and the wages of the carpenter, it will
be easy to determine the cost of the forms as first set up. They may be
taken down and removed for the purpose of re-assembling in another place
for about half the cost of placing originally, and by carefully
arranging to build the forms in panels or sections, they may be removed
by a carpenter at the rate of 4,000 or 5,000 board feet per day.
_Valves._—In connection with a sewage-disposal plant, valves are
essential at many points. At the entrance to the several parts of the
settling tank, flap valves are suitable to admit or keep out sewage from
the several compartments. Gate valves are used on the by-pass lines and
on connecting lines between the tank and the filter beds in order to be
of service when it is occasionally necessary to clean the beds. More
simple valves may be used in manholes where a diversion of the flow is
required and where perfect and complete water-tightness is not
essential. These valves may be made of plank, sliding up and down in
grooves left in the concrete walls for that purpose. Sludge valves may
be made to fit in the bottom of the tank, and depend for their
water-tightness on the weight of the valve itself with the aid of a
rubber packing which is placed between the valve and its setting. The
cost of these various kinds of valves cannot be given exactly, since
their cost depends upon freight and profit of the various commission men
through whom the valves are ordered, but, generally speaking, they will
be found to differ but little from the costs given in the following
table:
TABLE
Flap valve as shown in Fig. 16 $5.00
Gate valve (iron bearings) for 6–inch pipe (Fig. 13) 20.00
Gate valve (bronze bearings) for 6–inch pipe 30.00
Sludge valve as shown in Fig. 10 4.00
Iron slide valve as shown in Fig. 11 15.00
_Dosing Devices._—Dosing devices referred to in Chapter III are usually
purchased directly from the manufacturer, and while their cost varies a
little, depending upon the cost of freight, an ordinary single automatic
siphon may be estimated at $15, the difference in price varying a little
with the different makes of siphon. If an alternate discharge is
required, then two siphons must be installed, by means of which
alternate intermittency is secured, the variation, however, being only
from one to the other and back again to the first. If a plural alternate
discharge is to be used, the cost may be estimated roughly for a 6–inch
siphon at from $50 to $75 for each unit, this price including the
necessary piping but not the cost of setting.
_Filling Material._—Artificial sand filters require a sand of uniform
size and one free from dirt. These two requirements add very materially
to the cost of sand, since it is almost impossible to find a natural
sand which fulfils the necessary requirements. A few sections of the
country are fortunate in having sand in the vicinity suitable for
filtration purposes without any washing or screening. Such parts of the
country, however, are limited to those where sand has been deposited by
glacial action, and is essentially silicious in character. It is
hopeless to expect to find suitable sand in the centre of New York
State, for example, and even with washing and screening, sand in this
locality is far from being desirable. It will be found, further, that
after this undesirable sand is washed and screened the cost of the final
product is so great that it is usually cheaper to use broken stone
either as a filter or as a contact bed.
Washing sand in small quantities is done by throwing the sand into a
channel through which water is passing, the sand being retained by a
series of low partitions in the channel. If the water enters the box or
channel through a pipe at the bottom, frequent entrance holes being
provided along the sides and bottom of this pipe, the sand is kept in a
state of suspension, the dirt more readily washed out, and a much
smaller amount of water used. The cost of shovelling the sand into the
washer and again out of the washer, about thirty cents per cubic yard,
must be added to the original cost of the sand. The cost of water, if
pumped by hand or by steam, will be about ten cents per cubic yard of
sand cleaned, making the total cost about forty cents per cubic yard. If
only three-fourths of the unwashed sand is available for use, then the
cost of the final product is a little less than fifty cents per cubic
yard. The sand before being brought to the washer will have been sifted
at an additional cost of perhaps thirty cents per cubic yard. Hauling
from the bank to the washer, or from the washer to the site of the
disposal works, or both, if the water supply requires the washer to be
placed at some distance from the sand bank, will add from fifty cents to
one dollar a yard to the costs already indicated. It may generally be
assumed that it will be impossible to put sand into an artificial filter
for less than $1.50 a cubic yard, and it may easily cost $2.50 a yard if
the sand bank is at considerable distance from the site of the works.
Broken stone in most parts of the country can now be bought from a
stone-crushing plant. If road construction has been in progress in the
vicinity, the contractor for the work has been obliged to open a quarry
and set up a crushing-and-screening plant, and it will generally be
possible to buy broken stone from such a contractor at about fifty cents
per cubic yard. The cost of hauling and the cost of shovelling into the
beds must be added to determine the cost of the stone in place.
Sometimes it is cheaper to bring the stone from a distance by rail, such
stone costing about $1.25 at the railroad station. Then the cost of
hauling and shovelling must be added. It will be noticed that the cost
of stone does not differ materially from the cost of sand, and since the
amount of stone needed is only about one-quarter of the sand needed, it
is generally cheaper to build a stone bed. The purification, it will be
remembered, however, is decidedly inferior.
_Finishing._—There is always some slight expense necessary in finishing
and cleaning up after any piece of construction work. Material left over
has to be hauled away, and in order to leave the plant in an attractive
dress, seeding or sodding the earth slopes is desirable. It is even
desirable to plant shrubbery around the edges of the beds, partly as a
screen and partly to minimize the offensive suggestions which seem to be
inseparable from any plant dealing with sewage. The cost of these final
improvements may be as little or as much as the owner and builder
chooses, but it is urged that their value should not be overlooked.
The following table is given as a guide and help in putting together the
various items that make up the total cost of a sewage-disposal plant.
Each line should be carefully considered, and if the item mentioned is
to be used or paid for, the amount in the last column should be filled
out.

_Cost of Maintenance._—As to the cost of maintenance, very little that
is definite can be said. Sub-surface irrigation plants should require no
expenditure except for the occasional cleaning of the sedimentation
tank. If this is emptied three times a year, the labor needed would
amount to about a half-day’s time on each occasion for a family of
ordinary size. For sand filters, either natural or artificial, the tank
must be emptied as with sub-surface irrigation, and, in addition, the
surface must be scraped occasionally, and at the approach of winter
furrows must be dug. Perhaps two days’ time would be all that would be
needed for a plant dealing with the sewage of a single family. A
broken-stone bed requires no attention for seven or eight years, and
then the stone has to be shovelled out, washed, and replaced.
In none of the installations is this excessive in comparison with the
benefits received, and it should not be considered a burden to expend
this amount of time in maintaining so important a part of the household
economy as the disposal of the household wastes in a sanitary manner. It
must not be forgotten, however, that no sewage-disposal plant is exempt
from occasional break-down or accidents, and that there must be a
constant supervision exercised. This supervision should not require much
more time than above suggested, but should be exercised for the purpose
of correcting irregular flows or distribution before the value of the
plant is utterly destroyed.
