Project information

Location	Project Name	Project Details	Funding Stream	Federal Funding	Provincial Funding	Municipal Funding
Village of Baker-Brook	Water reservoir refurbishment and well restoration in Baker-Brook	This project will refurbish a water reservoir and well to ensure longevity and capacity to provide good quality water for years to come.
