Council Told Time To Act Is Now On Better Water

Common Council is setting a 4 year goal towards getting water treatment facilities up and running in the city in order to provide safe clean drinking water.

The head of Municipal Operations Paul Groody says it's an aggressive target but the time is now because every year the project is put off will cost the city an additional 8 to 10 million dollars.

Total price tag of the project is 172 million dollars over four years with the goal being to have it cost shared with the province and the federal government. That would put the cost for the city at about 57 million dollars.
