Treated bullsh*t means more money thrown at it versus untreated bullsh*t meaning less money thrown at it! No money…more sh*t!!

They are too busy paving over all the parking bays, narrowing the roads and putting in an acre of paving stones from Tills Hill to Tools and Equipment, amongst other follies, to build a sewage treatment plant. Oh yeah, we need 8000 more people to increase the flow into our waters too.

The only real choice for Hamilton sewage is to pump to the Blaackwatch Pass area. There to be properly treated before discharge into the waters of the North Shore. Possibly with a backup plan to also use the existing sewage line that discharges off shore at Hungrey Bay. On the other hand if the sewage is properly treated it could be discharged into Mills Creek.

If you read the bill and not the headline you will see both inside and outside valuation units will be charged this new tax .
The rates and current connection charges are used for maintenance of the system according to what Gibbons said on Friday. Almost three quarters of a million for operations this year according to 2016 budget.

If a problem such as a break in the sewer line were to occur say at East Broadway the only option would be to pump raw sewage into Hamilton Harbour. There is no holding tank. The “treatment” tank across from the Supermart is very large but almost always full. There is no alternative and the pumping into the Harbour would start within minutes.

Man, if they could tax the amount of BS coming out of Alaska Hall the debt could be paid in a month.

We are going to need a TEA party as our next political party when the government has to resort to taxing sh*t. Looks like they are running out of eligible items to tax. Look out civil service.

No problem with this move. CoH have every right to tax residences and businesses that fall outside of their formal governing boundary, specifically with regards to their use of CoH infrastructure. The need to plan and fund infrastructure upgrades and maintenance is vital.
