The office of the Ombudsman of Ontario received 61 complaints about Hamilton’s “Sewergate†controversy in 2019. That’s according to Paul Dubé’s annual report, which notes there was “public outrage†after it was revealed that 24 billion litres of untreated wastewater had spilled into Chedoke Creek over a four-year period. “Most of these were focused on the city’s decision not to disclose the volume and duration of the spill,†Dubé wrote.
