The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has given commercial establishments releasing untreated wastewater and sewage into the waters of the island of Boracay up to two months to connect to sewage treatment systems. Failure to comply will mean closure. Roy Cimatu, DENR secretary, said establishments must connect to the sewage treatment system plant of Boracay Island Water Co. or install their own wastewater treatment facilities.
