A four year \u2018Sanitation Upgrade Programme\u2019 (SUP), with the overall aim of protecting and improving the quality of streams, groundwater and lagoons.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
A key component of the SUP is the upgrade of domestic on-site sanitation systems at up to 1,000 homes on Rarotonga and Aitutaki to ensure compliance with relevant Regulations and Standards. Prior to beginning the second stage of the SUP, this study was commissioned by the Water, Waste and Sanitation (WATSAN) Unit of the ICI to assess whether sludge collection and transfer services and the sludge management arrangements at the waste treatment facilities on Rarotonga and Aitutaki have the capabilities and capacities to process anticipated future septage and sludge loads, as well as landfill leachate.<\/p>
