What about the partly treated sewage that comes from the hotels? None have a FULL and up to date sewage plant. In fact none exist on the whole island. It is suppose to go thru 12 different processes b4 being pumped out to sea. We have only the first three. I’m more worried about swimming in $*** water than greas water!! Why is there no mention about the hotels? Most beaches u can dive under and find grey spots of sand which stink. We been swimming in our s*** for a long time and eating the fish that ingest it. I’m happy it’s finally been brought to the publics attention

Spent a lovely afternoon at Grape Bay yesterday. No grease balls in sight and children wading in the surf. I have been swimming at that beach since I was a child as did my father before me. No health issues!

Not all that expensive, especially with simpler diesel engines, filter out the solids and pour the oil straight into the gas tank, nothing fancy to be done. It is less efficient to run tho.

It’s already been done before by two different people . One at Southside and one up at SAL West a few years ago.
I have a strong feeling that both of them are no longer doing it .
One would think that with all of the ‘free’ used cooking oil available locally even if it’s an expensive procedure it ought to be viable.

One West End farmer used to run his equipments on the stuff and if I got caught behind one of his trucks or tractors it was a breath of fresh air compared to them being run on regular diesel.

Give them a reasonable amount of time to bring their restaurants up to standard then they need to fine all restaurants for not installing the proper equipment in their establishments why should the government supply this for these business

When’s the last time an inspection on a grease interceptor or grease trap at a restaurant in Hamilton been done!?

That’s a really good idea!

Even better, a private company or person should look into it!
It’d probably make some money!

With all these job loses et al an idea.
PWD/Old water trucks……
If there is a method and not via the sewage system…..suck it up.

Transport to a site etc.
Of course this would involve a few dollars and access to a ‘holding tank- or even barrel.

Food for thought and not for fishees.
Shalom.

The government should look into creating a bio diesel processing plant. Make it mandatory for all restaurants to bring them their used cooking oil so it can be turned into diesel. The government can then use it to power all their diesel vehicles and equipment. Saving taxpayers money.
