Hello Ward 8 Neighbours,
The City of Hamilton received word from the province that they have agreed to a two month extension to allow works to dredge up a layer of biohazardous sediment that’s settled on the bottom of Chedoke Creek.
For more details, please continue reading below…
The work is required following a four-year sewage leak that saw an estimated 24 billion litres of sewage spill into Chedoke Creek which then drained into Cootes Paradise. The leak was discovered and stopped in 2018.
Last week, council voted to appeal a provincial order that would require the city to complete the in-water dredging work by the end of August.
The City will now have until the end of October to finish the dredging.
