By: BVI Water & Sewerage Department, Government of the British Virgin Islands 5/98
Cane Garden Bay, Tortola, BVI is host to one of the Caribbean's most popular beaches and is frequented by locals, visitors and
yacht charterers from around the world. In addition to over 60 residential homes, Cane Garden Bay boasts 8 restaurants, 4 hotels, and
numerous guest houses and apartments. Due to the high level of the water table, the proximity to the beach and the huge increase of
waste water disposal, Cane Garden Bay was at risk at contaminating the beaches that made the community and the BVI most famous.
The BVI Government contracted with CBE to design and build a wastewater system that would be capable of effectively collecting,
treating and disposing, not only of the community's wastewater but also of waste produced by the many yachts that moored immediately
off shore. CBE, as main contractor, subcontracted the engineering firm of Advanced Engineering, Inc., the pump station manufacturing
firm of Myers Pumps, (through their agents American Pump Systems) and the wastewater treatment equipment firm of Cromaglass Corp.
The combined expertise of this consortium led to one of the Caribbean's most comprehensive and modern wastewater
treatment system.
