Leach Field Flow and Nutrients Per Census Resident
The total estimated nutrient mass discharged to leach fields per resident per year at the Pukalani Wastewater Reclamation Facility is about 0.1 pounds of dissolved nutrients per year. Each resident contributes about 1K gallons to the leach field per year in Pukalani, averaging about 3 gallons per resident per day.
Ave. leach field nutrients / resident / year (lbs/year) Ave. leach field flow/resident (gallons/year) Ave. daily leach field flow/resident (gallons/year) 0.1 1,118 3.1 The total estimated nutrient mass discharged to leach fields per resident per year at the Pukalani Wastewater Reclamation Facility is about 0.1 pounds of dissolved nutrients per year. Each resident contributes about 1K gallons to the leach field per year in Pukalani, averaging about 3 gallons per resident per day.
Leach Field Fecal Coliform Cell Counts per Census Resident
