Unless it's Lake Ontario. You get Toronto's poop and acid rain. :awe:

I was on lake Huron though. Kinda makes me wonder why they don't pipe water from there and filter it instead of using wells. This is not a cottage in the middle of the bush but rather populated areas with electricity and such, so it would make sense if they had water and sewer service. It's a tourist town though, so maybe they just don't get enough tax dollars for that. It's probably dead in winter and most of these places are closed down.

Unlike you rural hicks, our waste is fully treated :colbert:

Is it really? I had read it was just dumped straight to the lake, or did that change? It's good to know, if they cleaned up their act.

Here it's fully treated, if you drive by the plant at night you can even see the methane burning as there is a stack where they burn it off. To me they should use that to generate power or something though. They're building a whole new plant though. Once it's treated it's put back in the river. They seem fairly confident because the treatment plant for drinking water is down stream from it. :biggrin:

Toronto hasn't been dumping raw sewage for at least a century. Ashbridges Bay treatment plant was built in 1910...
