Interesting discussion. I have a few comments.

Aeration (in one form or another) is a fundamental method for treating sewage. It is used as a major component of most sewage treatment systems (except individual drain fields), including large municipal systems and small systems like the piranha method.

Whether piranha systems would be a viable alternative to a municipal system is now academic. The municipal treatment plant has been built. Now, the sewer lines need to be installed and connected so the system can become operational. That, in my opinion, should be a high-priority project. It will go a long way toward alleviating land and water pollution. Can anyone out there tell me what the (real) schedule is for completing the sewer lines?

I understand that the treated effluent from the sewage plant is to be used for agricultural irrigation. I favor that. Where economically viable, it also could be piped out-island and used for watering lawns and gardens, for toilets, for (chlorinated) swimming pools and, possibly, for showers and washing machines.

I have observed Teresa Tellevast's work for many years. Teresa and her staff are dedicated, honest, capable people. I hope she will provide the names, numbers, and responsibilities of the Culebra agencies, so they can be posted on islaculebra.com.

I agree that one of the biggest obstacles to protecting the social and natural environments of Culebra is the lack of enforcement of laws and regulations. If bringing this to the attention of the agencies will help, that should be done.

As for who qualifies as a "citizen," from the standpoint of political power, voters are the most important constituency. US citizens who live in Puerto Rico most of the time qualify as residents and can, and should, participate in the political process and vote.
