Montreal sewage dump is over three days ahead of schedule
Repairs to the major interceptor that was behind the raw sewage dump have been completed three days ahead of schedule, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre said on Saturday.
The mayor made the announcement at 4:44 p.m. ET on Saturday.
The repairs, which started on Wednesday, were expected to last one week and dump eight billion litres of raw sewage in the river. According to the City of Montreal, the work was completed in 89 hours and dumped no more than 4.9 billion litres of raw sewage went into the river.
The city is still asking people to still avoid contacting the water directly until further notice.
On Monday, crews will begin further work on a snow dump site connected to the repaired interceptor. Raw sewage will still be dumped into the river for 10 days, but from only one pipe, the city said.
The wastewater will be dumped for seven hours a day at a rate of 0.8 cubic metres per second, while crews are on the job. "It's a question of work health and safety. We can't work with wastewater pouring on our heads," said city spokesperson Philippe Sabourin.

Well, if you consider JT the messiah. It was great.
If you aren't into faith based politics, and you aren't as dumb as a bag of hammer handles, it was still a really bad idea.
