Darwin Hall isn’t necessarily happy about the publicity his 1.6 mgd natural treatment plant in Southern Utah has been getting, but he’s willing to concede that having goats that help with plant maintenance is a curiosity to many people.Two television stations have contacted him to do documentaries.

She stopped to inquire, took pictures and wrote a story.
