The water near Niagara Falls suddenly went black Saturday afternoon, shocking the residents and the tourists as well.
The first person who noticed and reported the incident was Pat Proctor, vice president of Rainbow Air Inc. that offers helicopter tours over the falls
“I was just praying it wasn’t an oil leak,” Proctor stated. “It looked like something out of a sci-fi movie.”
The Maid of the Mist, a popular tour boat company, wrote on Twitter to ask Niagara Falls, New York, Mayor Paul Dyster what was happening.
Rolfe Porter, executive director of the Niagara Falls Water Board, offered an explanation saying that one of the sewage plant’s five sediment filtration basins was being flushed out.

“The substance discharged is a result of the routine maintenance of one of the water board’s wastewater sedimentation basins located at the Waste Water Treatment Plant on Buffalo Avenue. The ‘inky water’ is the result of a routine, necessary, and short term change in the waste water treatment process,” he stated.
