But despite promises and assurances that the matter will soon be rectified, it appears that a solution is still a long way off. After years of allowing raw sewage to flow into the Welland River, it appears the City of Welland will be ordered to clean up its act. A discharge of sewage into the Welland River near McMaster Avenue will be eliminated in about two months. Discharge entering the river from McMaster Avenue isn't an overnight problem.
