“I was wondering why the water looked so clean in front of my house in Bainbridge here,” Inslee quipped in a recorded video call with Premier John Horgan, released by the CRD on Tuesday.
“I don’t live actually on the shore, but I know we’re going to enjoy the fruits of your leadership. I know that you played a role in this as did our predecessors.”
Horgan replied that it took “an awful lot of people over an awful lot of decades, but we finally did the right thing.”
Noting that Victoria began dumping sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca in 1894, Horgan said the “so-called perfect flush” worked better for B.C.’s capital city than it did for its neighbours.
