How happy Ottawa City Councillors must be to receive a year-end message from city staff (Rain causes sewer system to overflow into river, The Ottawa Citizen, Dec 30, 2009) confirming that:
“Staff have visited the sewage gates meant to keep sewage flowing to the city's treatment plant under normal conditions, and all regulators are working normally…When older sewers, mostly downtown, get too full of water and sewage, they're designed to vent the excess directly into the Ottawa River.”
Very reassuring to learn that Ottawa’s sewage system will continue to perform normally in 2010!
