What improvements have been percei-
ved by the community at the completion
of the project?
The improvement is twofold: firstly, at the
individual level, it was possible to elimina-
te the septic tanks at the homes, thereby
solving the problems of bad odours and
the hassle of having to empty the tank;
secondly, it was an improvement for the
community as a whole since there were
10,000 septic tanks situated a few metres
from the canals and many of these tanks
were deteriorated with the passage of time
and the leakages were having a serious im-
pact on the quality of the water in the ca-
nals. Thanks to the gradual elimination of
the tanks, the quality of the water is the first
benefit enjoyed by all the neighbours in the
Marina.
