A new water treatment plant and raw water supply line have officially opened in the Town of Moosomin, promising improved water quality and long-term support for community growth.
Premier Scott Moe joined local officials, stakeholders, and residents this week to mark the grand opening of the 6,400-square-foot facility, which features reverse osmosis filtration membranes, upgraded filters and a new raw water supply main. The project also included the replacement of all commercial and residential water meters.
The $13.5-million project was jointly funded through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP), with the federal government contributing more than $5.4 million, the provincial government over $4.5 million, and the Town of Moosomin responsible for $3.6 million.
“Access to reliable water infrastructure for our communities is something I care deeply about, which is why the federal government is proud to support this important project in Moosomin,” said Buckley Belanger, federal Secretary of State for Rural Development. “This work will be essential to both public health and community development for generations to come.”
Moe said the investment reflects the province’s commitment to safe, high-quality drinking water. “We are proud to support the community of Moosomin through this investment—protecting the environment and strengthening the community for future generations,” he said.
The facility was designed to maximize efficiency, using 90 per cent of water drawn from raw wells while continuing to rely on the community’s existing lagoon system. Mayor Murray Gray said the design not only ensures safe and great-tasting water, but also supports the town’s long-term growth.
“This system was designed to supply water to a population of up to 4,500 people, which will not inhibit our ambitious plans to grow over the life of the plant,” Gray said.
The project was first announced in spring 2022, with construction beginning in 2023.
