en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Government of Ontario, Canada, has announced an investment of nearly CAD 44 million to repair drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure in the Niagara Region. The funding is provided through the Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund under the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program (MHIP-HSWS).
Todd McCarthy, Acting Minister of Infrastructure, stated: "Through our historic $4 billion Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program, we are helping communities, including those across the Niagara Region, support more housing, upgrade aging water systems, and lay the foundation for long-term prosperity."
The specific allocation for this water infrastructure funding is as follows: the City of St. Catharines receives $3.8 million for the Martindale Pond Weir Rehabilitation Project; the City of Welland receives $10.7 million to renew sanitary, water, and stormwater infrastructure in the Broadway area; the Regional Municipality of Niagara receives $24.5 million for primary treatment upgrades at the Niagara Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant; and the Town of Fort Erie receives $4.5 million to replace existing watermains along Colony Road, Windmill Point Lane, and Staniland Park Road.
Brian Grant, Acting Regional Chair of Niagara, said: "This investment strengthens the foundation of our communities. It means safer, more reliable drinking water for residents, modern water infrastructure capable of withstanding extreme weather, and the capacity our municipalities need to grow. But just as importantly, it is an investment in Niagara's economic future."
This funding covers multiple water infrastructure areas, including watermain replacement, pond weir rehabilitation, wastewater treatment plant upgrades, and the renewal of sanitary and stormwater infrastructure.
