Victoria Might Finally Stop Sh#tting Into the Strait

It’s a first step anyway. A regional planning agency has voted 11 to 3 to build four sewage treatment plants.

The cost is about $1.2 billion and the plants won’t be operating until 2016. These four treatment plants will tentatively be in Saanich, Esquimalt, Victoria and the west shore.

Currently, the Strait of Juan de Fuca gets about 31 million gallons of raw sewage dumped into it each day.
