Out of date[edit]

Parts of this article seem to be out-of-date. E.g.,

"the project is now due for completion in 2010."

So, does anyone know, did they finish it?

Here's an even more striking example:

"after the launch of modern long-waited South-West Wastewater Treatment Plant in 2006 the amount of biological and phosphate waste is expected to be lowered by 60% and 25%, respectively."

That appears to have been written more than 5 years ago!

Does anyone know, did they ever finish the South-West Wastewater Treatment Plant? NCdave (talk) 06:14, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Map ambiguity[edit]

The map showing the location of the dam is great, relative to the island in the middle, but it remains unclear to the uninitiated (including myself) what the orange area on the mainland is. Is this the city limits of Saint Petersburg (that's my guess)? Or is it the province (or whatever) in which St. Petersburg is located (which might also make sense because this dam doesn't protect the whole area in orange. Can someone change the caption to make it clear? Thanks. HuskyHuskie (talk) 01:42, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

concerns[edit]

According to some sources, the environmental concerns are not only about water quality, but that the dammed area might become a swampy polder. --Ikar.us (talk) 16:14, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
