Raw sewage may hit rivers, city warns

Print E–mail Share ThisReport Error SWOLLEN river levels coupled with some moderate precipitation have led to a high possibility of some raw sewage discharge into the Red and Assiniboine Rivers over the last 48 hours.

Winnipeg's aging combined sewer system is such that when water levels in the rivers are high, the capacity of the system is low. When the rains come, the extra runoff adds more stress on the system and puts unprotected basements at risk.

The city says most of the combined rain and waste water makes it to the treatment facility. The untreated solution that doesn't, though, finds its way into the river through various overflow points along the two rivers.

The city averages about 22 overflows annually, which amounts to 1.14 cubic metres of raw sewage spilled into the rivers.

But why would they go after the big guys right? The small guys are easier to take down.....

The city knows its a major problem and they have done a bunch of studies, its just they don't have the money to replace all of the combined sewers. Look how much of Winnipeg has combined sewers

Now imagine having to replace all of those at once. It will take 50+ years to do and billions of tax payers dollars

So here we go again, looks like this post is focused on starting another argument with Manitoba's co,s. Approximately 3 pages back on the forum was the last cry fest. How do you know that this situation is not a concern with our natural resources? And do you actually think that it only involves natural resources? Maybe waterways should have something to do with it? Or maybe environmental or maybe the city themselves. And this must be a very recent document stating the sewage overflow problems right. . So lets forget about the shack debris and all the anglers or should I say the small guys that are easier to take down, and focus on the brand new sewage problem. .  Its obvious you have an issue with Co's so why don't you drop by one of the offices and have a talk with them about your problems!

Why not have doctors come over to fix our furnaces?  Or get the mechanic to perform brain surgery?

Or maybe let the ENVIRONMENT OFFICIALS deal with ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES while Game Wardens deal with fish and wildlife issues?

Happy Easter BTW!

What does Winnipegs wastewater treatment issues have to do with Manitoba's Natural Resource Officers ? Surely one could come up with a more costructive post at the close of a fine hardwater season

Good lord your kidding me right. We are short on N.R.O's and on top of that they end up getting garbage thrown their way which in this case would be what you just posted. Wake up man.  
Went for a drive today to Rivers Lake and I was disgusted with the morons that left their shacks on the ice. What a bloody mess. Gatorhunter is so dead on when he says it is time for something to happen but no instead we get these useless posts. Another member trying to be a crowd pleaser. Nice

If this initial post by Kiwico is for real, we are so our own worst enemy. I don't know the author, but I have met gatorhunter in a roadside check, and he and his associates did exactly what they are paid to do! In a courteous, timely and yes, even friendly manner they checked our catch of the day and all was good. Now if they had caught me with a illegal act, that doesn't make them the bad guys, it makes me GUILTY. Oh yeah, nobody wants to be guilty anymore, it has to be someone else's fault. Instead of complaining about our NRO's, I suggest you call you MLA or MP and let them know that we need more NRO's, because there are a lot of GUILTY people out there.
 Case in point, on Wednesday March 31/10 we were fishing on LW, when we were moving from point A to B we drove right next to a single fisherman who had 4 lines in the ice, didn't even flinch when we drove by.
If this is a legitimate and fair concern to the author, it goes to prove that self-labotomies should be left to be performed by professionals.

Got to say the last post is one of the best I have read in a long while. I wholeheartedly agree, with all of his comments. Nice to read. zeus

WOW, reading that makes me wonder if there isn't more raw sewage "spilled" into the red by ice anglers taking a leak on the ice.
Or how that compares to the amount of garbage left on the ice by anglers.

So who is the "big guys"?

Judging by how intelligent this post is, I'm sure he means my not some

I travel from a long ways away to fish here, and if it wasnt for the fantastic fishing, I  wouldn't come back just based on the lack of respect than many of the shanty owners have for the fishery.         When I go fishing, it is to relax. When I see the bags of trash and beer cans all over I get so upset that I have a hard time enjoying myself.  Luckily once the fish start biting, I can forget about it for awhile.  I have always made a point to pick up as much trash as i can when I'm up there though.  My way of saying "thank you" to the lake.

[zeus]

Sewage has been a part of the Red and it's inherited sewer system for countless years. And like it or not, the fishing in city limits, as well as further North to the lake, is still phenominal.

In no way do I condone this malpractice, and I wish it could be avoided,completely!

Fact of life. We will always have those that have no regard or respect for the enviroment. So they have to come up with some type of counter argument.

I fly across the pond 3 times a year,to enjoy the wonderful things that Manitoba has to offer.
But I must add, that if the Red flowed through Britain, and we got the ice. My bet is that things would most likely be the same as they are here. Having said that. As drinking alcohol in public places is not unlawful, It may not give quite the buzz that it appears to do in Manitoba. WHO KNOWS???

We will always have those disrespectful. dirty,%^&#@, etc. people in our Society wherever one lives Just my opinion. SAD but TRUE. zeus
