Why is this story here?

ContainedA genuine procurement decision within an expected capital/operational budget line. The amendment responds to maintenance-driven volume increases and extends an existing contract to an additional treatment plant. It is bounded to three specific contracts and reversible through future procurement adjustments. Does not constrain future councils or change institutional structure; it is a correction within an approved envelope.Invisible to residentsBiosolids haulage and polymer supply are internal water-treatment operations. No resident experiences this amendment directly in their daily life. The effect is on Toronto Water's operational costs and supplier payments, not on service delivery, water rates, or public access.

Stories are ordered by how much weight a decision carries and how directly it reaches daily life. They rise as a decision date approaches and fall as they age.
