Chemicals and refuse from the South Coast Paper Mill was dumped into Soquel Creek until Frederick Hihn, owner of Camp Capitola, contracted for the construction of a flume. It allowed tainted water and sewage from Soquel Soquel Elementary School to be carried past the resort and directed out to sea toward Aptos. The flume is visible along the bottom of this photograph of the village and Soquel Avenue bridge.
