SEWAGE: FOR BRAINS

The Nelson City council have decided to go ahead with the duplication of the Bells Island sewage line, despite submissions during public consultation, raising extremely serious technical concerns about the fundamentally defective thinking underpinning parts of that project.
Those concerns were, the deeply flawed risk analysis, [18 April 09], and the insanity of spending $54 million dollars upgrading the sewage plant, to immediately thereafter, consider shutting the plant down and relocating inland, [20 April 09].
No wonder so many people think that this council tops its cranial cavity up with the raw product from this plant. However the lunacy of making such a crazy decision is so impossibly stupid that it must be regarded as highly improbable, even for this council.
Surely they must have given full and proper consideration to those crucially significant issues and adopted appropriate measures to correct and repair that planning. Surely this is just a failure to inform the public of those changes. Surely this is just a notification and information failure.
Anything else is so blatantly reckless, that it beggars belief.
