A town with a sewer population of 4,000 has a daily wastewater flow, including industrial wastewaters of 1,600 m³ and an average BOD of 280 mg per liter. The industrial discharges to the municipal sewers are 60 m³ at 1,800 mg per liter BOD from a meat processing plant and 100 m³ at 400 mg per liter BOD from a soap canning plant. Determine the contribution of domestic flow in liters per person and the BOD in grams per person based on the town's wastewater, excluding the industrial wastewater.
