Garage or industrial shop suspected of dumping oil, chemicals into Moncton sewer system

Staff at greater Moncton's wastewater utility had to move fast last week to clean up oil and chemicals that someone apparently dumped down the drain. Oil could be seen on the surface of the primary clarifier and in one of the bioreactor cells on Aug. 17, and a strong acetone-type smell was in the air, TransAqua manager Kevin Rice said. Rice suspects the substances may have included parts-washer solution from an automotive shop or other industrial facility.
