There is a debate at Ottawa City Hall as to whether the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) delayed repairs to a sewer pipe on highway 174. As we understand it, city staff applied in February to do the needed lining repair work on the pipe in question between April 16 and July 31 of this year. This suggests some urgency that the work be done sooner rather than later. RVCA replied to the city that no in-water work could occur between March 15 and July 1 of any given year.
