      abstract = {This report examines the condition of wastewater treatment  facilities in communities of 10,000 persons or fewer.  Capital spending requirements for these systems in 1988 are  estimated at $13.7 billion and are expected to grow by $4.4  billion over the next 20 years. Likewise, the number of  persons receiving sewage treatment will grow from 32  million to 57 million by the year 2008. Analysis of the  excess flow capacity of small-community systems shows the  average system was operating at 80 percent of capacity,  while 20 percent of existing systems were operating in  excess of current design flows.},
