Re: “Slow down the sewage project,” letter, Oct. 29.
I chuckled when I saw this headline. Could the sewage project go any slower?
As a Victoria resident in the 1970s and 1980s, I tried to interest a few people in gently challenging the unsavoury practice of Victoria dumping untreated sewage into Juan de Fuca Strait and was criticized and patronized for my silly thoughts. The solution to pollution is dilution, don’t you know? (Right out of the 1950s, that quaint little ditty.)
It’s hard to imagine how this project could possibly move more slowly. Turtles are faster than Victoria’s action on sewage treatment. Good news that it’s finally happening.
