January 23, 2015 – Ituna, Saskatchewan – Western Economic Diversification Canada
The Town of Ituna will benefit from upgraded water supply infrastructure thanks to joint federal and provincial funding announced today by the Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, and Glen Hart, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Last Mountain-Touchwood, on behalf of the Honourable Jim Reiter, Saskatchewan’s Minister of Government Relations.
The investment will allow Ituna to build a new well near its water treatment plant, update pumps, and rehabilitate its existing well to provide a reliable supply of clean drinking water. The upgrades will increase the efficiency and reliability of the water treatment plant and distribution system, as well as meet expansion needs in this growing community.
The Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan are each investing $124,000 through the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund (BCF-CC), with Ituna contributing the remaining balance of the $372,000 project.
