I’m not sure they can treat Trudeau effectively.

Here is the process:

It seems that this company may have failed several of the "reinstatements" of the laterals.

Thousands of homeowners across Victoria will soon receive an information letter as multiple homes face sewage backups following work done to city pipes.

On Sunday, CHEK News reported several homes on Scott Street had experienced sewage backups and flooding after work was done to reline the city’s sewage main under the street.

Tiffany Webber told her story of how the basement crawlspace in the home she is renting to tenants flooded with inches of sewage water after the house wasn’t reconnected to the sewage system following work the city hired a contractor to do.

This was the first time CHEK News had heard of these issues, but today the city said in a statement it knew about issues arising since November.

Back in July, the city awarded Superior City Services Ltd., a Surrey-based company, a $1.78 million contract to reline the sewer drains under the street.

The city said the contract was for work on 35 streets across the city, but did not disclose which ones.
