CITY CONFIRMS NO RIVER CONTAMINATION FROM MVA AT WATER TREATMENT PLANT

The City confirms that no contaminated water leaked into the river as a result of a personal vehicle entering a construction site and damaging a valve at the Water Treatment Plant on Spadina Crescent Friday evening.  An early morning report from the Fire Department indicated the potential for a ditch to overflow and leak into the river, but our staff had all valves turned off well before the ditch was full to prevent any overflow.

There were no workers on site at the time of the incident.  Clean-up at the scene is still underway and the extent of damage is yet to be determined.
