Harbour solutions was finished over 15 years ago but the view of water quality is still way more negative and some people still seem to believe that sewage is normally dumped directly into the harbour.
Not sure exactly what the situation is but a quick google search indicated that there aren't regular tests along the Halifax waterfront for water quality for recreation. This seems odd as it's a busy area and there are ways to go in the water there like the steps. And it would be good to know which areas are or aren't clean enough and fix problems if they exist.
