The District produces approximately 2,500 dry tons
of biosolids product per year. The product is made available to municipalities
and the public through the District's give-away program. Generally, biosolids
are available from April through August. Once the year's supply has been given
away another batch will not be available until the spring of the following year.
Biosolids are given away and loaded at no cost. Load sizes are limited to
pick-up trucks or smaller unless special authorization is given.
