To illustrate the scale and source of Road Town’s sewage problem, Samuel McIntosh showed the audience a picture of a shabby looking shack on Waterfront Drive near the Road Town Roundabout.
“As you can see, it’s not looking very well,” he said of the building, which is a sewage pump station. “It’s looking kind of sick. This is an indication of the state of the pump station. It needs to be fixed.”
Mr. McIntosh, project manager with CBE Engineering, stood in the Treasure Isle Hotel conference room on Nov. 23 before a crowd of nearly two dozen businesspeople, government officials and journalists, detailing a plan to resolve Road Town’s widespread sewerage issues.
An area from Government House to Baughers Bay depends on the Waterfront Drive pumping station and a network of pipes that are also in disrepair, Mr. McIntosh said. CBE Engineering was given a $1.9 million contract last year to perform engineering and construction management services for five phases of the territory’s sewerage programme.
