Province investing $25 million in storm and wastewater infrastructure in Ontario.
The Ontario government is investing $25 million to build, upgrade and rehabilitate storm and wastewater infrastructure.
The announcement was made today by Environment Minister David Piccini.
"We know that critical storm and wastewater infrastructure in many municipalities are under pressure," said David Piccini, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. "This is why our government is making this crucial and much-needed investment to build the storm and wastewater infrastructure necessary to ensure cleaner water and tackle the pollution and toxic overflows facing many communities across the province."
Fifteen million dollars will be used towards improving outdated infrastructure in 18 municipalities, including Niagara.
Officials say this will help modernize water management, ensuring more Ontarians have access to safe drinking water.
The rest of the money will be divided between 20 municipalities, including Niagara, to upgrade sewage monitoring and public reporting capacity, as well as efforts to improve wastewater and stormwater management and water conservations in Ontario.
