Communiqué de presse – La Fondation Rivières se voit contrainte de mettre en demeure le ministre Benoit Charette et son ministère de l’Environnement afin de les forcer à agir sur les déversements d’eaux usées, et ce en vertu de l’article 5 de la Loi sur l’eau.
Communiqué de presse – La Fondation Rivières interpelle le gouvernement du Québec afin qu’il mette en place des mesures pour réduire l’impact sur l’environnement des déversements d’eaux usées. Cinq ans après le flushgate de Montréal, il n’y a toujours aucune stratégie pour contrôler et limiter les impacts sur l’environnement en cas de déversements d’eaux usées.
The City of Trois-Rivières is currently forced to discharge almost all of its wastewater into the Saint-Maurice River and the Saint-Laurent River following breaks in the main wastewater pipe. Despite its efforts, it is difficult to predict when the situation will be restored due to fears about the state of the pipe or the pumping system.
Press release - Fondation Rivières and the Ville de L'Assomption are currently carrying out a ground-breaking study to measure the impact of wastewater overflows and other sources of pollution on the bacteriological quality of water at the municipal drinking water intake and the Léo-Jacques Park recreation area, both located on the banks of the Rivière L'Assomption in L'Assomption.
Press release - On Earth Day 2020, Fondation Rivières would like to highlight the very constructive steps taken by the Régie d'assainissement des eaux du bassin de Laprairie and the City of Plessisville to protect water quality.
