Marsh Creek Could Smell Better By Next Summer

You might be irritated by construction delays on a number of city streets these days--but Tim Vickers of the Atlantic Coastal Action Program wants you to know all that work is going to pay major dividends. 

Vickers tells CHSJ News the the Harbour Cleanup infrastructure they're putting in will make life a little sweeter for residents on the East Side and beyond. Raw sewage will no longer be pumped into the Harbour and Marsh Creek, which will mean an improvement over the coming years.

Vickers says once the sewage stops being pumped in the plant-life will take over purifying the water of toxins. He says the Cleanup will be pretty remarkable considering it's been generations since the Creek wasn't a cesspool.
