Water Release for Fire Reservoir Maintenance at Bath Institution
Official title: Bath Institution - Fire Reservoir Cleaning and Repair
Correctional Service Canada needs to empty two underground fire water tanks at Bath and Millhaven Institution for cleaning and repairs. This means releasing about 1.17 million litres of non-chlorinated water into the local environment.
Why This Matters
Live near Bath Institution in eastern Ontario? Over a million litres of water will be released into the local environment. The water isn't chlorinated, but large releases can still affect nearby streams or drainage.
What Could Change
This is a routine maintenance notification rather than a policy change. The water release will proceed as part of standard infrastructure upkeep at the federal correctional facility.
Key Issues
- Environmental impact of releasing 1.17 million litres of water
- Maintenance requirements for fire safety infrastructure
