The project consists of the extension of an existing interceptor and secondary and tertiary sewers, the construction of an ocean outfall to bypass the lagoon and to discarge wastes into the ocean, studies and training. The project components comprise: (a) an interceptor; (b) sewers; (c) eight pumping stations and ten septage discharge stations; (d) a sand trap; (e) a floatable removal plant; (f) an ocean outfall/diffuser; and (g) a pilot sanitation system in a slum area.
