Thank you for caring and taking action!
I think a very real compromise exists that is being ignored for reasons unknown.
Constructed Wetlands
Constructed wetlands are artificial wetlands designed to treat wastewater using natural processes. They employ plants, microorganisms, and soil to filter and break down pollutants, resulting in cleaner effluent.
Constructed wetlands are particularly effective in removing nutrients and pathogens from wastewater. They are a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution that mimics natural wetland ecosystems.

Artificial or Constructed wetlands would help mitigate habitat loss for many local water fauna / migratory birds and safely denitrify the treated wastewater while keeping our natural waterways clean and safe.

We have the land. Why not allot some of it back to nature and let it just do…
