<br /> 1 Comparison based on a 50% reduction in fertilizer contribution to impaired watersheds and a $40,000 cost to sewer each home.
<br /> 2 Assume a contribution of 10 lb-N/yr/Home based on methods put forth in Technical Bulletin 91-001. Number of homes currently
<br /> served by septic systems which would have to be sewered in order to reduce the nitrogen load equivalent to that from fertilizer.
