Recycled fertilizer coming soon
Kennewick City council just approved a new water "Bio-solids Removal" contract that will take out 8,000 dry tons of waste, then turn it into fertilizer that can be applied to farms and fields across the region. Project leaders say it means cleaner water for you and could have a huge impact on the agriculture industry.
Plant services supervisor John Griffin says, "which could mean that they're going to have more crop yield per acre, you get more bushels per acre and you know it's a win win for everybody."
For starters, farmers say they'll be applying the product to wheat fields because it helps retain moisture.
