“Did you know that swimming in the lagoon near the hospital is prohibited?” our guide whispered, a mischievous glint in his eye. “It’s true! That’s Vila Central Hospital Sewage Treatment Plant by the way. See that placid lagoon reflecting the sky? The Vila Central Hospital Sewage Treatment Plant has a bit of a history with it, a story that goes back to the colonial era.” He paused for dramatic effect, allowing us a moment to absorb the unexpected contrast of the scenery and the topic. “You see, the hospital’s sewage system, including its treatment plant, was originally built way back then. Over the years, it’s seen a few upgrades, all in an effort to be kinder to our beautiful environment. However, earlier this year, the Vila Central Hospital was told to stop discharging untreated sewage into the Erakor Lagoon. They ignored the warning and now risk being shut down. Let’s hope they fix the problem soon! The lagoon deserves better.”
