Oil flowing from sewer outlets near Edwards and Bell Avenues has reached hundreds of gallons. Authorities trace the leak to unspecified bunker fuel sources, warn of health and wildlife risks, and vow full investigation and possible prosecution.
Land theft by The Pas to create new municipal storage area prompts questions about why the town buys Indian held land for industrial use. Critics say extending boundaries to include Grace Lake road area or River lots could bring in tax revenue and avoid a $3000 purchase.
Authorities questioned possible charges if the source were uncovered. The Pas says it lacks permission to dump waste into the Saskatchewan River. The town admitted it did not have a license to take river water until 1962 when the Squaw Rapids dam concerns prompted a license app.
Tests by the town engineer and Manitoba Health traced oil in The Pas river to sewer lines after bunker fuel use. An oil slick and dead cows were observed near the Government dock as officials awaited Winnipeg analysis. Health officials cautioned that a water supply contamination would risk serious health hazards.
