Niagara Falls no longer Number One in Number Two

It’s nice to report some good news for a change. Especially when it’s a smelly subject like sewage. Lots and lots of sewage.

The folks in Niagara Falls Canada have been hanging their heads and holding their noses, because they were at the top of the list of Ontario communities dumping the most raw or partially treated sewage into the environment.

But they aren’t the worst. The report was wrong. A decimal point was in the wrong place. Yep, someone did a crappy job of proofreading. A number that was supposed to be 6.5 million was listed as 6.5 billion. With a B. Oops.

When the report came out last month, local officials smelled a rat. They knew the report stunk….and after weeks of pouring over their records, they got the point.

So folks in the falls can flush those toilets without fear. And that’s the latest poop.
