Buried on Page C22 of The Nov 25th Morning star was the ad announcing the Intention to issue an amendment to the Sewage Discharge Authorization Certificate to the City of Vernon. This amendment will 'authorize the discharge of reclaimed water to the ground by irrigation, and the discharge of surplus tertiary treated irrigation water to OKANAGAN LAKE via the deep lake outfall.

The deadline for written comments is Dec. 10, 2007.

Don Quixote Note: Despite the continued urging of City Hall to use the euphemism 'Wastewater treatment plant', it appears that the Provincial Environmental Act still refers to 'Municipal Sewage Discharge' in defiance of our City's stated wishes.
