The City of Steinbach, Town of Niverville, along with the Rural Municipalities of Tache and Hanover will be benefiting from the New Building Canada Plan’s Small Communities Fund.
Ted Falk presents funding for the Town of Niverville that will go towards installing approximately 2100 meters of watermain.
The Small Communities Fund is part of the $10-billion Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component of the New Building Canada Fund. It will provide $1 billion to municipalities with fewer than 100,000 residents for priority public infrastructure projects that deliver on local needs.
Funding for the City of Steinbach will build upon work done under phase 1 and will see the installation of approximately 1600 meters each of new waterlines and sewer lines to replace existing aging underground infrastructure.
The Town of Niverville will install approximately 2100 meters of watermain to provide potable water and fire protection to the Main Street area, as well as enhancing water availability to multiple residential sectors.
The RM of Tache will complete a new 36 L/s supply well, an in ground concrete water storage reservoir and distribution pumping system, as well as construct a facility to house electrical, mechanical and treatment components in the community of Landmark.
The RM of Hanover will put the additional funding toward the construction of a new wastewater lift station and forcemain to address capacity issues in the community of Blumenort.
