Big Sewage Problems in Puerto Rico
- "Fewer than half of the homes of Puerto Rico's 4 million residents are hooked up to sewage treatment plants or septic systems. The US EPA has granted several 301(h) waivers to sewage treatment plants in Puerto Rico, allowing discharge to the ocean of partially-treated sewage." - excerpt from Surfrider Foundation's STATE OF THE BEACH 2005 web page at http://www.surfrider.org/stateofthebeach/05-sr/state_summary.asp?zone=IS&state=pr&cat=sm
