We have grave concerns that downstream communities are not being adequately or fairly protected from sewage bypasses in the Kingston area.
-- Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, in a letter to the Ministry of Environment

I am writing with regard to the recent sewage dumps by the City of Kingston. As you know, we have corresponded with your office in the past about our concerns. Most recently, you wrote on April 16, 2004 stating that your office was satisfied with the progress being made by the City of Kingston with improvements to their sewage infrastructure. In light of recent events, we feel more steps need to be taken.

I never dreamed living on Wolfe Island on the water that I would have to give my five-year-old a talking to about not picking up syringes off the shore.
