It will take some years but eventually the heavy metal content of your soil will get so high that you won't be able to do it any more. Do you really want that in your soil? It never goes away. The local big city near me wanted to do the same in our township but thankfully the township board did some research and decided against it.
Other townships nearby are getting to their limit on heavy metals from the sludge and the city is looking for new sites. Of course our governor raised the limit of heavy metal content so the city can dump in those other townships for now.
The city could get more of the heavy metals out but they wanted to do the job on the cheap. Also you have to think about all the medications you are adding to your water supply not to mention the pill that make fish with both female and male organs. I know what goes into the sewer system here cause I work in a lab and you are allowed to dump a certain amount of radioactive material down the drain and other things like ethidium bromide and bromphenal blue. Look those things up and decide.
Maybe the city you are dealing with doesn't have labs that work with that stuff but I'll bet there are plenty of other things and you'll find out they don't test for most things like ethidium bromide. Good luck.
