Commentary 1 - Rock Bay Centralized - Pipes and Congested Streets

Do the Little Pieces Matter In the Big Picture? 

A free technical commentary on the CRD Core Area Sewage Treatment Project 




The CALWMC proposes to submit three new concepts for sewage treatment for further detailed analysis to an independent consultant. A technical oversight panel is to ensure engineering, business case, lifecycle costing and other project analysis is properly conducted by the consultant to enable fair apple-to-apple comparisons to be made as the public has clearly requested.

  1. I no longer have any faith in the CRD or the City of Victoria. They appear to be astral travelling and not connected to the citizens.

  2. Sewage, as I know it, is piss and shit. Yes, there are other things that go down our toilets and perhaps that is where some education is required. Piss and shit are not poisonous. Piss and shit rapidly break down and are harmless. Treatment of piss and shit is an expensive way to achieve what happens naturally. Listen to the science and park your yuck factor at the door. Bears will still shit in the woods; and tell me, how fare the woods?

  3. Victoria is one of the few places in the world where the water temperature and currents are such that the Primary Treatment we already have is sufficient. I wish the politicians and the public would listen to the scientists instead of planning to spend such vast amounts of money.

  4. I believe that David Anderson, former Federal Environment Minister, is part of the ARESST group. I would very much like to see him contact his Liberal friends in Ottawa and encourage them to give Victoria an exemption for the need to provided secondary treatment for the reasons already expressed. Maybe then the provicial Liberals would follow suite and Victoria would be off the hook for this completely unessessary plan. Every level of governemnt wins, and the Victoria taxpayer saves a bundle.
