There are so many “poo-to-power” options out there, it amazes me how few municipalities use them.

Elimanure is another one, developed for dairy farms, but would work with municipal sewage.

One wonders just what usage of “fine” is being applied here in “fine fertilizers?”

[VanShuyten]

Nowhere in the article does it mention the two big problems with using the end product as fertilizer: heavy metal contamination, and pharmaceutical contamination.

DC being a big Rat stronghold (both the mammals and the politicos), I expect nothing will be said about this.

Will the anti GMO people demand that the product be labeled? Like, “BS from DC” or something similar, especially if it is used in Organic foods.

Milorganite. Been doing it for decades.

Milorganite is the trademark of a biosolids fertilizer produced by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District. The District captures wastewater from the Milwaukee metropolitan area, including local industries.

No need to protect our sensitivities. We all drink water that has passed through one set of kidneys at some point in time.
