You have no right to ransom the future of Durham residents for the sake of taking care of York’s problem. It is beyond foolish to solve a problem by creating another. We are not going to stand for this!
Lake Ontario already has a phosphorous induced algae issue. This creates a severe safety issue for public using the lakefront, fauna and the nuclear plants.
Phosphorous induced algae issues should be resolved prior to considering the option of sending more sewage to lake ontario.
Thank you.
If you've been to the Ajax waterfront during the summer the issue with algae is readily apparent. This is a result of increased amounts of "treated" water being pumped into the lake. If you're going to allow further development in York Region then a better solution needs to be found.

Durham Region is not interested in receiving the sewage from another region. Ajax already struggles with algae growth which negatively impacts our water and beaches. I also disagree with government letting themselves off the hook by making it so they are immune to liability.

Due to the complexity involved in this situation, deferring the decision to an expert body is a good idea. Whatever the outcome, it will be necessary to ensure that rigorous environmental standards are applied to the solution.
