What happened to the water?

[Yvonne]

There seems to be some basic confusion regarding the water and sewage issues in Negril. Contrary to some of the uninformed opinions out there, the sewage in Negril is treated by the Negril Waste Water Treatment Plant and has been since 1998. This past February there was a $278 million improvement project for the existing plant that was funded by the Government of Jamaica and the European Union.

Thank you Rob. A tourist asked me about the water yesterday, figuring that as a long timer I'd know what the story was. I told him but he didn't want to believe me. He swore it had to have waste. I told him that if he'd looked at the water when it came in he would have seen that along w/ the discoloration, many leaves come in too, nothing more sinister.
