The City of Corner Brook on Newfoundland’s west coast has begun construction on a new water treatment facility to serve the city, the adjacent communities of Massey Drive and Mount Moriah, and the surrounding areas.
The new facility will employ a combination ultraviolet and chlorine treatment with a dissolved air flotation process. Both Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador are investing $12 million to the project through the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund. Corner Brook will contribute the remaining costs of the total $49.6-million project.
