July 25, 2014 – Coverdale, New Brunswick – Infrastructure Canada
Several New Brunswick communities will soon benefit from improvements to their wastewater infrastructure, thanks to federal investments made through the federal Gas Tax Fund. A total of seven communities will see upgrades and improvements to their wastewater collection and treatment systems in Fundy Bay, Gillies, Greensborough, Harvey Lake, Havelock, Roachville and Sainte-Marie-de-Kent.
Work will span over several years and will range from upgrading and improving existing systems, to the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities and systems. In some areas additional households will also be connected to the local treatment system. Thanks to these projects, cleaner water will flow into our wells and local rivers, such as the Saint John River, the Petitcodiac River, the Kennebecasis River and the Bouctouche River.
The proper treatment of wastewater ensures the health and safety of families and residents while protecting our environment. Projects like these will contribute to the health and wealth of New Brunswick communities for years to come.
