PREFACE
This annual report of "Sewage and Water Works Construction 1968" is
published as one part of the basic data program required and authorized in
Public Law 660 (as amended by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
Amendments of 1961—(PL 87-88), and by the Water Quality Act of 1965
— (PL 89-234).
The data published herein provide a continuing and ready source of infor-
mation and reference as to how successfully the national needs in municipal
water supply and pollution control are being met through construction of
the necessary physical facilities.
This publication also establishes important year-to-year cost trends in
the national economic picture in the three types of public works construc-
tion involved. Such data are valuable not only to Federal, State and local
government authorities and officials responsible for providing water sup-
plies and for controlling pollution, but are also valuable to the building and
contracting trades and to the engineering profession.
Effective January 1, 1969, this Administration will no longer include in
this publication series data on waterworks.
This report was prepared by Kenneth H. Jenkins, Consultant Statistician,
and Florence G. Simmons, Statistical Assistant, under the direction of Jesse
L. Lewis, Chief, Data and Information Services Section; Pollution Surveil-
lance Branch; Federal Water Pollution Control Administration.

CONTRACT AWARDS
A. CONTRACT AWARDS-1968
Contracts awarded in the sewage and water-
works field in calendar year 1968 amounted to
almost $2.4 billion, broken down as shown below
in millions.

Collecting sewers
Waterworks
Total
866.8

2,362.4
Sewage treatment contracts were 45 percent
over 1967 and at the highest level of record be-
ginning in 1952. Contracts for collecting sewers
were 30 percent above last year and also a rec-
ord high. Waterworks contracts were 13 per-
cent below 1967 but still the second highest on
record.
The total value of all three categories is about
26 percent above 1967 and is the highest figure
on record. On a constant dollar basis (1957-59),
the increase from 1967 was about 10 percent.
Each of the above totals is based upon an
identified and an apportioned figure. The iden-
tified contracts are those for which the de-
scriptive information available clearly states a
single type of construction. Those contracts
that cover more than a single type are called
"combination" contracts. These combination
contracts are then apportioned to the sewage
treatment works, collecting sewers, and water-
works categories on the basis of known national
experience in each of these.
B. METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION
The contract award data presented in this
publication for the year 1968 result from the
careful examination of over 100,000 contract
notifications in the sewage and waterworks
construction and related fields. All notifica-
tions of similar contracts awarded in the same
geographical area are checked to reduce the
chance of duplication. Certain contracts, pri-
marily those covering sewage treatment plants,
are checked and verified by the various State
water pollution control agencies.
The data on which this report is based were
obtained from:
1. F. W. Dodge Corporation daily reports
on construction in the sewage and wa-
terworks fields in the 38 Eastern
States, Arizona and Southern California.
2. Various construction news periodicals
such as Construction News Bulletin,
Pacific Architect and Builder, Rocky
Mountain Construction, Southwest
Builder and Contractor, Denver Daily
Journal and Construction News Daily.
Practically all of the information for the 38
Eastern States is obtained from daily reports of
the F. W. Dodge Corp.
The data presented are composed of contracts
awarded by municipalities, special districts, and
other local governmental bodies. A few con-
tracts are included for industries where the cost
of such facilities can be readily identified, and
where it is possible to ascertain that facili-
ties are primarily for the disposal of sanitary
wastes or for domestic waterworks facilities.

NOTES:
1. Constant dollars on a 1957-59 base were computed as follows:
Sewers from PHS Sewer Construction Cost Index (PHS Publication
1132); sewage treatment a composite 45 percent sewers (Publication
1132) and 55 percent PHS Sewage Treatment Plant Construction
Cost Index (PHS Publication 1069); water from Engineering News-
Record construction cost index changed to a 1957-59 base.
2. The Public Health Service sewage treatment data prior to 1957
are composed of identified contracts only. Beginning with 1957, the
figures include an amount apportioned to sewage treatment works
from the "combination" contracts.
3. Data on collecting sewers prior to 1957 are obtained by sub-
tracting Public Health Service sewage treatment data from the
U.S. Department of Commerce sewer data which includes sanitary
and storm sewerage system as well as sewage treatment works.
Beginning with 1957, the data for collecting sewers were assembled
by the Public Health Service and do not include storm sewers.
4. The waterworks data prior to 1957 are based on records
maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Beginning with
1957, data were obtained by the Public Health Service.

SECTION II-CONTRACT AWARDS-BASIC DATA-1968
This section presents the basic data as com-
piled; combination projects have not been
apportioned. Tables of contract awards by
population size groups, contract size groups,
drainage basins and States are included.
The population size group tables do not refer
to the population served. They represent the
size of the community in which each contract
was awarded. The population size groups of
some contracts were unknown; these contracts
consist primarily of new towns or administra-
tive districts. The cumulative percentages
shown in these tables are based on the known
population groups.
A. SEWAGE TREATMENT WORKS CONSTRUCTION
The sewage treatment works are presented
in two categories, namely, NEW PLANT and
OTHER. The "NEW PLANT" classification in-
cludes stabilization ponds and appurtenances.
The "OTHER" category includes replacements
and additions to existing treatment plants, in-
terceptors, and outfalls. This category also
includes contracts whose costs cannot be sepa-
rated between "New Plant" and "Other."
Therefore, the "Other" classification may in-
clude a few new plants.
In 1968 the level of contracts awarded for
construction of sewage treatment works in the
United States reached a level of $866.8 million.
Of this amount $773.9 million covered contracts
identified as to specific location and type of
construction. The following Tables 5 through 8
inclusive relate only to contracts individually
identified for sewage treatment facilities.
Lists of the locations of contract awards for
sewage treatment works are available upon re-
quest. Write to Director, Division of Pollution
Surveillance, Federal Water Pollution Control
Administration, U.S. Department of the Interi-
or, Washington, D.C. 20242.

B. COLLECTING SEWER CONSTRUCTION
Collecting1 sewer construction for 1968 totaled
$582.5 million. Tables 9, 10, and 11 analyze the
contract award data which was specified as
purely collecting sewers (i.e. $517.6 million),
and do not reflect any portion of the combina-
tion projects. The tabulation of the collecting
sewer contract awards by States appears in
Table 3 of Section I.
The collecting sewer classification does not
include storm sewers.
C. WATERWORKS CONSTRUCTION
The waterworks data are broken down into
four categories, namely, SOURCE, TREAT-
MENT, DISTRIBUTION, and MISCELLANE-
OUS. The "SOURCE" group includes contracts
awarded for wells, surface source development,
and transmission lines. The "TREATMENT"
area includes contracts for plants and auxiliary
facilities. The "DISTRIBUTION" category in-
cludes contracts for ground storage, elevated
tanks, and distribution systems. The "MISCEL-
LANEOUS" classification includes contracts
for pumping facilities and for water systems in
general. When it is not possible to code a con-
tract that is known to pertain to water into
source, treatment, or distribution then it is in-
cluded in the totals for miscellaneous.
Contract awards for waterworks construc-
tion in 1968, including an apportioned amount
from the combination contracts, totaled $913.1
million. The tables following refer only to con-
tracts that pertain exclusively to waterworks
(i.e., $866.5 million).
