Re: Councillors OK $12M pipeline to transport Munster sewage, May 28.

As a Richmond resident, I am ashamed and hurt that the Munster Community Association executive is displaying such utter disregard for the health of their downstream neighbours, especially when so many residents of Munster (83 per cent) and Richmond (77 per cent) are in favour of the safer on-site treatment plant. (2002 surveys are posted on www.OttawaSewergateFiasco.com ).

To add insult to injury, our staff-driven councillor, Janet Stavinga, is ignoring the fact that we in Richmond don't have city water and depend on our own shallow wells.

I doubt there is another municipality in all of Ontario that has an administration so obsessed with setting the stage for another Walkerton-scale disaster.
