Description
Hart City Wastewater Treatment Plant irrigates treated wastewater onto City-owned farm fields. City contracts with local farmer to grow and harvest crops on the fields that are beneficial to farmer. Crops are normally corn and hay. Hart City benefits by avoiding more expensive treatment methods; and receiving annual rents from farmer of about $3000. A more elaborate cost analysis would be needed to quantify the savings from this program. Update 1-30-2013: this venture continues. In 2012, the City requested proposals from area farmers for a new 3-year management agreement which resulted in an increase of annual rents from $3000 to $5000.
