Put the sewage plant aboard a large ship

The struggle to find the perfect place for a sewage-treatment plant is mired in traditional thinking.

The struggle to find the perfect place for a sewage-treatment plant is mired in traditional thinking.

Why not place the plant in plain sight in the harbour inside a permanently moored cruise ship or an equally large vessel that can purchased for this purpose.

This is not an outlandish or cynical proposal. There are many ships for sale that would be suitable and could be retrofitted to provide the necessary treatment technology, tourism options, and possibly even house the Maritime Museum. Such a ship would fit perfectly in the harbour environment, be considered an attraction, and lend credibility to the creative spirit of Greater Victoria.
