CABINET NOTES – The Prime Minister, the Minister of the Environment, the Minister of Public Utilities and the Minister of Works will welcome a team from Japan in a few days.

The Japanese Investment Bank team will sign an Agreement on a Recyclable Water Project, treating gray water. The small recycling plants are to be installed in hotels, government buildings, businesses and homes that will allow water from showers, kitchens and other domestic uses to be treated and used again.

The plants would also be very helpful in reducing unwanted malodorous emanations that now affect the air quality in commercial St. John’s, where waste water is discharged in the gutters.

Several cities and countries are moving to these small plants rather than having a single large recycling plant that requires underground pipes, pumps and other paraphernalia that can be very costly to operate.
