Population growth in the service area is as per National Statistics Office (NSO) assumed growth rates
and forecasted population.
?? Connectivity rates for population in the service area is as per MWCI rates rebasing data.
?? Given the domestic nature of biosolids produced within the MWCI service area and lack of information
on biosolids characteristics, heavy metal, organochlorine, and other organic and inorganic
contaminant concentration levels would be within the limits set by international standards. Additional
testing and monitoring are required to confirm this assumption (particularly for copper, mercury and
cadmium).
?? Agronomic rates for potential land application reuse options would be within the limits provided by
international guidelines. Confirmation of this assumption needs to be undertaken for each identified
area for biosolids application
