ECC Inspectors Find Sewage Lagoon Breach in Fort Providence
What happened
Inspectors from ECC conducted environmental monitoring of the sewage system in Fort Providence. They found that effluent levels in the lagoon's first cell were high enough to breach into the second cell. ECC subsequently directed Fort Providence to repair the backed-up lagoon before the onset of winter.
