  • A Simpler, Cheaper Alternative to Sewer Systems - [PDF] - This guide describes a wastewater project in Willard, a small village in New Mexico where the sole supply of drinking water is threatened by contamination from wastewater. The Willard project is still a work in progress, but lessons learned to date can directly help other communities to minimize problems as they embark on their own wastewater projects.
