These may be discharges from cleaning of<br>aqueduct pipes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We ask what is the origin of these discharges, if the regulations allow such practices during scouring work on aqueduct pipes, and why the contaminated water is not funneled into the sanitary network, which would have allowed minimal treatment at the treatment plant.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are the spilled residues? Are such discharges subject to authorization or adequate standard procedures? Is it a spill containing harmful pollutants that could affect flora, fauna or recreational tourism activities, or that could cause a danger to public health, particularly in a drinking water intake? We request, where appropriate, that the procedures be undertaken. We will send you the contact details of witnesses if necessary.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanking you for your attention,<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h3>Roy Vergel Navarrete, B.Sc.<br>Mobilization Project Leader<\/h3>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/fondationrivieres.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2019-09-12-FR-Lettre-plainte-Ville-de-Montr%C3%A9al-Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The city of Montreal was also seized of the matter.<\/a><\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d102940 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"d102940\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=gyfJeXkjcBk&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Foundation has just filed a complaint with the Ministry of the Environment concerning a surprising spill of contaminated water in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.
