Township officials were admonished for:
As a result of the disaster the township Reeve ordered that a continuity plan be immediately implemented and that all township staff must be trained in operational continuity procedures.
He went on to say that immediate and accurate notification
of township residents is the most important aspect of the
continuity plan.
Note: the Reeve and Quibell Township officials may still face
charges for not having managed the risk of the pumping
station failure.

Bill works at an EPCOR site. He also lives in the countryside close to the site. One day while hunting, he notices a truck of a contractor EPCOR hires to dispose of waste products throwing things into a ditch; then driving off. Bill takes a closer look, and sees evidence that waste products, thought not EPCOR’s, have been dumped there. Bill knows that the contractor is supposed to dispose of these products in a certain way, but, he’s not sure he should tell anyone. He doesn’t know if they do that to EPCOR’s products, and even if they did, the contractor is the company who would be in trouble, not EPCOR. Should Bill tell anyone?
Bill should let his manager know ASAP. Although it is the contractor who
is breaking the law, it is possible they are doing that to EPCOR’s waste products, too, and even though we hire contractors to dispose of these products, EPCOR could be liable for their mishandling of them. Even
if there was no liability to EPCOR, Bill should still care, because the contractor’s actions are directly opposed to EPCOR’s promise
to conduct our business in an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable way.
