Cole, sliding scale to accommodate natural background. Beaches 70 coliform/100ml before "poor" water quality, pools should have no more than 4, tap water should have zero. You get the idea. Yep, makes sense. My next question: What exactly is treated sewage? I smell some serious rank when they coat the sod fields with biosolids, aka human dookie. Pardon the crass language, but it smells like shit. Open sewer style. ------------------------- I was right. Edited: 05/01/2023 at 07:35 AM by Cole |

Biosolids baby! Sewage treatment yields reclaimed water, largely used for irrigation with some use as drinking water, and biosolids. Biosolids are the residual cellulose, some protein and mineral content, etc. of the other half (not volumetrically) of what goes down the drain. Low in nitrogen, high in phosphorus, it's used as a soil amendment. Excess application was causing blue green blooms in the upper St. Johns due to excess phosphorus. And yes, it's pretty stinky stuff!

The Kissimmee river is something special after a hard rain. Biosolids, cow crap and God knows what else from the sod farms. A putrid soup that makes nice fat algae.
------------------------- I was right. |

As a 70's kid, I find that quicksand terrifying. Now just toss in a few Satanists, and my dreams will be full of terror.
