Efforts by the Wastewater Division (WWD) of the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) to control a strong odour from the Bridgetown Sewage Treatment Plant on Monday has yielded results.
This is according to a statement released this evening.
“After identifying the substance which was off-loaded at the plant on Saturday, February 10 and which contributed to the noxious scent, WWD operators have started replenishing bacteria integral to the treatment process. This has been able to contain the odour considerably,” the BWA said.
The utility also said it had strengthened its policies monitoring all waste coming into the plant and reminded haulers to observe established regulations for dumping at the plant.
The BWA thanked the public for their patience and understanding and apologised for any inconvenience. (PR/NB)
