people wise it's in the mid 600 thousands. but land wise it covers 1120ish sq miles. does sound like a huge sum, though. but I have no idea how much these things cost. and this: In 1995, Jefferson County entered into a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency regarding sewer overflows into the Cahaba River watershed. A total of $3.2 billion of new construction was subsequently contracted, both to comply with the consent decree and to expand the system to newly-developing areas and increase the number of ratepayers financing the construction. Several engineers, building contractors and commissioners have since been tried and convicted in Federal Court. On May 12, 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the convictions in large part. major issues with sewage runoff into the Cahaba when it rained heavily, as it does often do here. so it was more than ugrading an old system and running new lines to growing areas.
