On the 2006 IWA International Wetlands Conference in Portugal, two wetland pilot plants in the small tropical island of Mayotte, in the Indian Ocean, were presented. The first pilot plant being a vertical flow filter with recirculation, fed with raw sewage, and the second one a horizontal flow filter after an Imhoff tank. These plants where put into operation the end of 2005 and early 2006, respectively, by SIEAM, which is a syndicate created by the islands authorities who will have the task to operate all water and sewage equipment on the island. The plants have been monitored by SIEAM ever since they went into operation and first results were presented at the 2006 Wetlands conference. In this paper, we present the operation conditions, treatment results and problems encountered during the last 4 years of operation and monitoring of these pilot plants, which will be of particular interest in the aim of finding sustainable treatment solutions for small communities in the tropics, even though the amount of date gathered during this four year period is not as important as we had hoped.
