Sewage sludge siteSummerville, Ga., is looking for greener pastures – for its sewage sludge.
At a public meeting tonight, city officials will discuss putting treated sewage sludge on about 350 acres of pasture on West Cove Road.
“It’s not to grow crops on,” Summerville Waste Water Treatment Plant Superintendent Chris Tuggle said. “It’s basically just for hay.”
Tuggle wants neighbors to know the treated sludge isn’t smelly — especially compared with commonly used chicken manure.
