Over the past few weeks I've been trying to understand why the city of Kingston has for years continued to dump untreated sewage directly into Lake Ontario. In order to try and understand the issue I went back and read every Kingston Whig-Standard article on the topic from 1955 till the present day; and while the city has come a long way, I'm not convinced that the city is doing enough to protect the safety of those who use the lake for swimming, boating, fishing, rowing, and of course, for drinking.
