Sanitation in the Northern Caribbean

from Martinique

Martinique has a total of 86 public wastewater treatment plants. The 40 largest plants alone treat more than 90% of the pollution generated by the population connected to a public sewer system. However, only half of the population of Martinique (65% of the urban population and 40% of the rural population) can be connected to a public sewer system existing; today, 150,000 residents are actually connected.

The 240,000 residents unconnected ones use an on-site wastewater treatment system (known as «non-collective») systems, which often fail due to poor design or inadequate maintenance. In some cases, wastewater is even discharged into the natural environment without any treatment.
