Stop asking questions, you’re confusing me

In continuation to my “What’s that smell?....Success baby!” blog, it seems there is some discussions going on with the Capital Regional District (CRD) sewage treatment system. The districts’ core area liquid waste management committee has approved the first round of questions for an external review panel to answer questions and examine the districts options for sewage treatment. There are people who want to potentially enhance the current system and potentially draw from bio-gas, heat and water similar to what Mr.Grundy was planning on implementing with the Royal Roads system. It seems the questions proposed were too vague in the review helped last week and there is plans for additional questions to be adopted on Jan.28 that can possible ask questions about green house gas emissions.

Now it would seem from the article, citizens are not taking part in the discussion but organizations such as Sewage Treatment Action Group (STAG) and Responsible Sewage Treatment Victoria (RSTV) are the ones spear holding the discussions. Personally I would have encouraged the citizens to get involved with the discussions to even learn more about it and potentially add in what they want out of a possible new system rather then just these organizations, which may or may not have the same interests as the population. Also the more people better understand how something works, the more people are willing to work with and potentially improve it
