It's been studied to death and now that the city finally has it's share of
the cost, the Feds and province are only kicking in a paltry $30 mil apiece.
The whole cost could run up to half a billion. We have been paying
increasingly higher fees & taxes on our water bills to cover this since the
80's.

I sail in Nova Scotia waters. My homeport is Halifax.

Didn't I hear that Halifax is FINALLY getting a raw-sewage treatment
plant. Instead of spewing it directly into the harbour, I mean. Man,
high tide there must take on a whole new meaning.

Victoria does this crap--pun intended--too, I believe. It's
disgraceful.

Yes, Halifax is getting a series of three sewage treatment plants to finally
treat its sewage. Sydney, where I live, is getting one as well, should be
up and running by next fall. Low tide on a hot still day tends to be worse
than "high tide". ;-)

As I plan to cruise Cape Breton/Bras D'or some day (hope to sooner
than later), I am exceedingly glad to hear it. You guys have enough
troubles with snow and unemployment to have to deal with a stinky
seashore G
