St. Lawrence River temperature

There's no need for it sewage plants can get upgraded and need to be upgraded as far as I'm concerned the city's should get very heavy fines for their infractions say 1000 dollars for every gallon of raw sewage dumped

Any city with a combined sewer system is almost certain to have overflow events pushing sewerage into their waterways. On top of those who dump deliberately.

So what your saying is its ok for a city to dump raw sewage into a river but let's say poor little Joe smith on his boat has a catastrophic failure on his boat and somehow dumps raw sewage into the river the the environment police are gonna fine him and crucify him I don't agree with these double standards.

We are a 1st world country this should not be happening

I don't think anyone is saying it's OK for a city to dump raw sewage into a river. Sewage plants are getting upgraded. Montreal is upgrading theirs and that's why they are dumping, I'm not suggesting that's a legitimate reason to dump raw sewage but in this case that's the reason.
FYI for those looking at this thread to find out about St. Lawrence River temperature who are not familiar with the area, the dive sites mentioned here are 200 km upstream of where this dumping is happening.

It was 10 C on the Kinghorn last weekend.

Where did I say it was OK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Oh, right, I did not. Acknowledging reality does not endorse it.

I overheard someone saying that it was around 45F at Brockville last weekend. Wetsuit season is starting!

with warm waters comes algea bloom. Viz suck in the summer. I only dive St- Lawrence in early spring anf late fall for this reason
