TERRACE — Only 10 days

after warning council a recently

“installed drainage pipe would

not prevent a recurrence of pon-

Ber. has’ seen f realized. we, : “Owith® the creek’ now ’ ‘in. full flow’ ‘after weeks ‘of rain, the pond which claimed the life of a

; six-year-old boy: last March has

Talstra said council “shared his frustration. However, it was still unclear whether jurisdiction in this case rested with the city or the provincial water manage- ment branch,
