"Economies of Scale" are all well-and-good, but I worry about the intent or efficacy of such a system if the designers/users don't think that simply using multiple existing units isn't a practical idea for larger communities. Centralization usually leads to more long-term negative effects instead of sustainability. If a facility supplying 3000 people is considered economical, then why aren't ten of them good enough for 30000 people?
