Brewery Creek and Beyond: The Problem with Combined Sewer Overflows in Ottawa and Gatineau

With Quebec municipal elections in full swing, Ottawa Riverkeeper has released a report, pushing candidates to make sewage pollution in the Ottawa River a priority.

The report, “Brewery Creek and Beyond: The Problem with Combined Sewer Overflows in Ottawa and Gatineau,” examines the data collected from five years of studying water quality at Brewery Creek, Gatineau.

Using the results of the study, Ottawa Riverkeeper is looking to press for positive change for the Ottawa River with the local politicians who set budget priorities and have the power to make improvements to the sewer systems in our watershed.
