Estimates Of Wastewater Treatment Capital Requirements In Rural America

  • Ryan, Barry

Abstract

This study examines the changes in capital requirements needed to bring rural wastewater treatment systems into compliance with Clean Water Act standards. Results indicate a significant but concentrated reduction in backlog costs and a dramatic increase in service availability between 1978 and 1984. System needs are estimated at $20.2 billion, with residents in the Northeast and in the smallest rural communities facing the highest per capita costs.
