DEF

Somme d'argent permettant de procéder à l'épuration des eaux d'égouts.

CONT

Chicoutimi est l'une des 536 villes du Québec (abritant au total plus de 60% de la population) qui n'épurent pas encore leurs eaux d'égouts. L'administration municipale dit manquer d'argent : le comité de citoyens crie à la mauvaise volonté. Québec racle ses fonds de tiroirs pour trouver des «épuro-dollars» de plus en plus rares.

OBS

Le néologisme «épuro-dollar» a été formé par composition à partir du mot dollar et du mot épuration qu'on a abrégé à la manière de «pétro-dollar» ou de «euro-dollar».
