Ontario MPP Brian Saunderson announced on Jan. 16 that the provincial government has approved up to $12,527,165 in funding for the Town of New Tecumseth, ON to rehabilitate its wastewater treatment plant.
The funding for the Alliston Wastewater Treatment Plant Clarifier Rehabilitation will be through the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program’s Health and Safety Water Stream.
Clarifiers at the Alliston Wastewater Treatment Plant are essential to effective wastewater treatment and to protecting both public health and the natural environment, a Town of New Tecumseth said, and magian its aging infrastructure is “vital to ensure the system continues to operate safely, reliably, and in compliance with environmental standards.”
“This investment supports one of the most critical components of our Town’s wastewater system. As a community, we rely on resilient infrastructure every day, and I’m grateful to the Province and to MPP Saunderson for their support,” New Tecumseth mayor Richard Norcross said.
“This provincial investment will help ensure Alliston’s wastewater system can increase operational capacity and improve treatment effectiveness, supporting both current needs and future growth,” Saunderson added.
The funding will allow the town to address risk, reduce the potential for costly failure and maintain current infrastructure capacity as well as address future growth, the release said.
