Not really to far off...........They want me to take over the mantainance and record keeping on the sewer plant and the water plant. In return I won't have to pay for water and sewer on my house or shop. This will save me $150/month!

Not much..........Mainly making sure the pumps are working and the lagoons are ok.......
One of the partners is a builder in Washington state and isn't around much, and the other 2 partners both own other businesses and are gone a lot.

The solids are eaten away by anaerobic bacteria.
