Yes, I have heard about those plants using sallad and tomato fields, although they shouldn't.

Any industrial plants in the area?? Using the same sewage system??

How many months did it take for most bacteries,etc to be composted??
Do they close the faucets, store the stuff, just in time???

Anyway, happy nobody seem to grow sallad in that area, but who eats the grain??

Drinking and bath water from local wells or from distant pipes, lots of rain, lakes and rivers??

Does zoning laws demand two or three parallell pipe systems, rain water, regular
human waste and industrial waste?? ( a good trick for outhouses is to separate
solid and liquid waste, the latter on is the one which smells)

Can one wash the family car in the backyard using a drainage to which one system??

What about changing the oil?? 200,000 people?? how many cars, rural area, what kind of
garages, what kind of front or backyeards, streets??

Due to local zoning laws I would get fined if I washed the car in either the back or front yard,
not just because I live on a source for ground water.

It additionally also helps for better local sperm counts (I would not recommend raw eggs anymore,
who knows what that hen has been fed)

Hi Ish,

Sounds as if some good progress is being made. Here in the UK, we are just switching where all our sewage is not dumped at sea. Where is does go is still debated.

One question that could be asked of your friend...So if a batch of sewage is found with (say) 500 ppm of mercury in it what happens? Are the contaminants removed (expensive proposition) or where is the bad stuff dumped.

Just wondering.
