Sewer System Update

Tofinonews has learned that contrary to previous reports the Stage 3 Liquid Waste Management Plan is not complete.In fact,there is some data missing that is needed to complete the plan.For some time the meters at the First St, outfall were measuring the temperature of the sewage instead of the volume.The District needs a full year of recent sewage discharge data to complete the Stage 3 LWMP.This means we are a year away from completing the plan and hopefully applying for a grant to help finance a Sewage Treatment Plant
   How nobody noticed this is incomprehensible......we have highly paid staff and highly paid engineers that should be watching this......If a leak had occurred it wouldn't have been noticed until the shit hit the fan ! If there was groundwater infiltrating into the system it would also have gone unnoticed........
   Do the bosses at Public Works not check these meters on a regular basis ?
   Do the bosses at Public Works not have the slightest interest in the amount of  change in sewer discharge since the Esowista connection ?
   Do the engineers not check and analyse the data ? They have been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars
   Does the Ministry of the Environment not read the reports from the District ?
   Does no one know the difference between units of temperature and volume ?
   A year ago the blog spoke about the sad state of our sewer system and nothing has changed......
   There is absolutely no accountability....

Definetly nobody cares. Sewage treatment plant equals waste of money

I like raw sewage.Eventually it will impact tourism and we'll have affordable housing.Please don't treat it.

Hard to argue with that logic. Get rid of the tourists and surfers and real estate will be as affordable as Tahsis or Zeballos ....

Sewage contamination is a bigger hoax than global warming.If you want to treat your sewage move to Ucluelet or Port Alberni
