In today's (Sun, Nov 22, 92) Seattle times on page B2, I read that Victoria B.C. continues to dump raw sewage directly in to the Strait of Jaun de Fuca. In a vote by the people of that city they overwhelmingly rejected city proposals to treat the city's sewage before it is discharged in to the Strait. Aparently Victoria is the city of it's size on the West coast of North America that discharges it's sewage into the sea without any treatment.... Folks this is nasty, that (water) from the strait of Jaun de Fuca flows into Puget Sound. Maybe it is time to pressure our government to pressure their government into fixing this. Or (threaten a) boycott of B.C. and Victoria B.C. products and tourism. -- UUCP old: delisle@eskimo.celestial.com Internet direct: delisle@eskimo.com
