Project Description

Stopping Pollution in Harbour View

A case against five regulatory government agencies

 

 

PROJECT: JET Support for Sewage Treatment Facilities

In 2010 FFI donated $1,000.00 to the Jamaica Environment Trust (JET) to litigate a case against five regulatory government agencies for their failure to perform their duties relating to the maintenance and operation of a sewage treatment plant in Harbour View, Jamaica. JET obtained a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court ordering the National Water Commission to construct within six months an interim sewage waste facility to treat the untreated sewage that has been escaping from the plant into the surrounding coastline and sea for the past three decades and to construct a new facility to meet all regulatory standards within 18 months.
