Modern waste water treatment plants will be constructed in two popular tourist sites of this town with a budget allocation of P150 million from the national government. Puerto Galera Mayor Rockey Ilagan said the construction of a plant in Barangay Sabang was already started by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and that a second will follow in Barangay San Isidro, home to the famous White Beach. Each of these waste water treatment facilities is worth P100 million and funded from a grant of the national government subsidy program for the implementation of sewerage or septage management projects for first class municipalities.
