Sewage Treatment Insufficiencies in Hawaii
- "Sewage treatment levels vary throughout the state, although most collected sewage is subjected to secondary treatment. On Maui tertiary treatment levels are achieved, while at two major facilities on Oahu sewage receives only primary treatment before being discharged via outfalls into the ocean. Large areas of most islands remain without sewerage systems, and wastes are discharged into cesspools or septic tanks." - excerpt from the book, Atlas of Hawaii, 3rd Edition, edited by Sonia P. Juvik and James O. Juvik, University of Hawaii Press, 1998, pg. 300.
