Water Pollution: Information on the Use of Alternative Wastewater Treatment Systems
The costs of treating the nation's wastewater are huge and rapidly
rising. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the cost
of municipalities' unmet needs for wastewater treatment facilities rose
about $17.7 billion from 1988 to 1992 and totaled $108 billion in 1992.
This report examines whether the wastewater treatment costs could be
reduced through the use of alternative treatment systems. GAO discusses
(1) cost-effective alternatives to conventional systems for collecting
and treating wastewater, (2) barriers limiting the use of these
alternatives, and (3) how EPA is addressing the development of future
technologies.
