Sewage treatment starts in Sydney
Well I suppose 60% is a pass mark.
It's unfortunate that they don't have immediate plans to treat the sewage being dumped in the Dominion area of Cape Breton. The beach has already been closed due to high fecal matter content, three of the last four years.
Mike MacKeigan, utilities manager for the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, said the plant will handle about 60 per cent of Sydney's waste material, while the other 40 per cent will continue to go into the harbour for now.
