Tweet ThisEMC News – Efforts to reduce the amount of raw sewage that makes it way into the Ottawa River have been stepped up with the grand opening of an infrastructure project two years in the making.
Last week, representatives from the three levels of government gathered along the river to celebrate the opening of the improved Keefer Regulator, a project that is supposed to improve the city’s wastewater management and decrease combined sewer overflows
“This is not an environmental issue,” said John Baird, federal transport and infrastructure minister and MP for Ottawa West-Nepean. “It’s unacceptable and immoral to dump raw sewage into the river.”
