An engineering company will investigate why smelly black water was released July 29 into the lower Niagara River.
The smelly discharge near the Maid of the Mist dock was seen and smelled by thousands of tourists that Saturday afternoon, and a video of the spreading black stain went viral.
The Niagara Falls Water Board, whose wastewater treatment plant was
the source of the discharge, on Monday announced it has hired AECOM, a Los Angeles-based firm with offices around the world and an extensive background in sewage infrastructure work.
The announcement said AECOM's senior project manager, John Goeddertz,
will review "overall wastewater operational readings, equipment
readings, summary reports and facility water quality monitoring findings
in and around the incident date. The firm is also prepared to propose
follow-up testing or evaluation, if necessary."
