use of treated sewage effluent ( tse) for construction
i have a situation where contractor is asking to use tse water for compacting back fill material, the back fill is mainly sandy soil and is below a steel pipe rack. can any one help with the advantages and disadvantages of this action? are there any adverse effects of using tse on soil
tse is used in many places for irrigation, mainly under salinity control. other than that, perhaps a bit of smell....

jeccnc...this question was posted in another forum.  please stick to posting a question in a single forum in accordance with the forum policies.
yea, dont cross post...we cant have you getting answers from two groups of people.
health and safety is the primary issue. you need to determine the quality of the effluent. make sure it is chlorinated or ozonated (sp?) and test it for e-coli.

thanks for your observation about the double post , i must appologize. i assure you it was not intended that way.
i was going through threads in " structural forums" when i decided to post my query, right after that it occured to me i am probably in the wrong forum, sice my question was more towards environmental and soil mechanics,so i posted it on the civil/environmental forum and  tried to delete it from the structural section but didnt know how ,any way i appologize again
jeccnc, i was being facicious...there are some forums i dont read, and if you posted a question i could answer only there, i would never answer. its a dumb rule.
