Is the sewage malfunction at Kelvin Grove real?

[Agamemnon]

I noticed the sewage malfunction at Kelvin Grove was mentioned in another post and didn't want to hijack but is that malfunction real? I saw the very unofficial looking piece of paper stuck to the baracade thingy at the entrance but discounted it as b.s. and dove anyway. Sure hope i was right! It didn't look like an official notice to me - does anyone know if it is?
thanks!

Hmm, interesting. The restrooms at Kelvin (actually the septic tanks just in front of the restrooms) have been smelling like $hit for at least the last 6 months or more. I wonder if there is anything new, or did they just recognize the problem now...

I believe it has to do with un-treated raw sewage being leaked / dumped into the water. This is second hand from a DM friend, but given the signs people have reported, I'll be avoiding it!

I tried calling the # on there when I tried to go diving there last, but it went to a voicemail that didn't have a message attached to it.

Here is the skinny. I got a call back from the Lions Bay office and they are completing the upgrades to the sewage system this weekend. I asked if there was raw sewage going into the bay and she said no it has always been the same they are just finishing the upgrades to the system. So they are recommending to not use the beach area this weekend.

I remember diving there about 12 or 13 years ago and in the bay near shore by the outfall, there was a big cloud of toilet paper bits suspended in the water.

If it has always been the same why are they recommending to not use the beach, and those signs have been up for almost 2 weeks!

hmmmmmm

i went diving there a couple of weekends ago. Sign was up, and the concrete pad outside the washrooms smelled excrementy, but didn't see any floating in the water. We swam out east, right past the SEWAGE sign, and it was poop-free at least to 100'.
