The government says it will ask businesses to install wastewater plants to help control the bad smell in parts of the city.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The decision was made yesterday as the Cabinet agreed that it will intensify the effort to remove wastewater from the gutters of commercial St. John\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Merely flushing the gutters daily is insufficient; new wastewater is added every hour after the businesses open in the morning,” a brief statement emanating from Cabinet notes indicated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“The Cabinet agreed that it will have every business-place install an inexpensive wastewater plant that will remove the substances that can cause the gutters in St. John\u2019s to smell,” it added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is expected that more than 750,000 cruise tourists will arrive Antigua in the 2018\/2019 tourism season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Everything must be done to make the City more attractive,” the Cabinet agreed. <\/p>

It promised that more details will follow in the weeks ahead. <\/p>\n
