Check out the website for Metrogro, the Madison, Wisconsin,
Metro Sewer System. They take the output product from the
sewer system, called "bio solids", and truck them to farms
all over Dane County for spreading on farm fields. They have
been doing this since the early 1980's that I know of, and
it doesn't seem to have created any problems that I have
heard of.
