摘要：	Across rural America, much of the old and failing wastewater disposal infrastructure from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s can be cost effectively updated and replaced with a low-maintenance, operator-friendly system like the one at Hugo. No discharge occurs, no permits are necessary, and minimal sampling and lab testing is required. Where land is available (often already dedicated), municipalities can forego hefty capital improvements involving supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and other technological systems. "We were very happy with the quality of the R-LLDPE material-and the installation on the Hugo project," says Nicholaus Marcotte of Element Engineering. "If the owner, engineer, contractors all work as a team ... this can be a very appealing approach for municipal wastewater compliance." Jeremy Forristall, Public Works Director, stated: " I spent five years taking samples endlessly on the old two-cell discharge system. Now, everything's working good, and that sand ballast is not blowing around so much since we wet it all down and a crust formed."
