.ONenvironment has reportedly told cityofhamilton to inspect its entire sewage system after Hamilton Water staff discovered a 26-year-old breach that has resulted in sewage being funnelled from an east Hamilton neighbourhood into Hamilton Harbour.
According to reports, David Piccini said Nov. 25 he has instructed his staff to require the City of Hamilton to audit its entire system and come up with a remediation plan.
Upon learning about the spill, Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath directed the city auditor to investigate “how a spill of this nature could go on for more than 20 years without being detected.” Addressing the later reports that the city has been told to inspect all 2,000-kilometres-plus of buried pipe, McManus said, “Certainly it is a burden both from a financial and administrative standpoint. Technology is improving for how to map the condition of underground utilities, given drone technology, but it will be costly for the city.McManus said he questioned Hamilton Water’s characterization of the incident as a contractor error.
McManus said, “The issue seems to have been an issue of poor project design provided to the contractor and poor oversight on the inspection by the city.” Upon discovering the leak, Hamilton Water staff reported the spill to the Spills Action Centre and also to City Spills. The city took immediate action to stop the flow from the leak to the harbour.
