Hmm, maybe if Orange County can build a sewage purification system that can serve 5 million people (for $480 million), perhaps could New Mexico cover the whole state for a similar cost? In 2005 there were 895,116 personal income tax returns (http://www.tax.state.nm.us/pubs/TaxreseStat/2005PITStatsFinal1.pdf). That's about $536 a person to buy the same system as OC (or several smaller ones). Presumably that could be spread out over a generation or two, say $20 over 30 years?
