What is the CRD doing well?
The CRD has an exemplary Source Control Program which has demonstrated a reduction of many contaminants – such as mercury from dentists’ offices and fats from food premises – over the past few years. Pharmaceuticals are being collected by pharmacies. There is good control of petroleum products from Motor Vehicle Repair premises. The CRD has taken a lead with its member Municipalities in passing bylaws to control Inflow and Infiltration to the sewers. The CRD has an excellent Parks program that is protecting the local land environment. And it has done a fine job of monitoring and improving the existing treatment system.
