Residents of Chile’s favorite surfing town warn that the proposed waste water pipe “will kill Pichilemu.” Essbio manages the area’s waste-water treatment. It currently dumps its sewage into the Petrel Lagoon, which has turned a “glowing fluorescent” color. Environmentalists and surfers alike have no doubt that the force of the waves will either return the waste to the shore or break the pipeline. Rather than the sewage pipe, they support the construction of a state-of-the-art waste water treatment plant which would purify sewage water and present less risk to the local community.Original source: Santiago Times.
