I am pleased to make a correction to my previous post! After years of trying to get an overview of the sewerage infrastructure from the BVI water department and being treated as if I was after some state secret, BVI has just posted a pretty complete overview on Facebook!
The new Burt Point treatment plant that was started up in November is treating to tertiary level which means all solids, biologics and desolved solids are removed before being discharged at Slaney Point. (Evidently they are still figuring out how to operate it as they had a major overflow a couple weeks ago.)
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain
