Folks should read the links and make their own determinations. The content is brief, easy to read.

The 1st link is 4 sentences about the improvement project taking place in Negril, stated as being for the purpose of preserving the coastal environment and the living organisms in the sea.

The 2nd link includes information that a study in 2002 evaluating the original project (which was completed in 1998 and included a wastewater treatment plant in Ocho Rios) found deficiencies in both the collection and treatment systems of the projects, and provided recommendations for improvement. In 2005 another study was performed, some aspects of which was to determine if the findings and recommendations of the 2002 study were valid.

Here is a link from the National Water Commission's website providing more detail about the project in Negril. The Chairman of the NWC is quoted in the article, that the conditions and quality of sea water, aquatic life and sanitary conditions are expected to be improved by the project. http://www.jis.gov.jm/news/116-water...plant-underway

The 3rd link (above) is about the quality of drinking water in Jamaica, which is definitely one of the great things about vacationing in or considering a move to Jamaica.
