GLACE BAY, N.S. — The Government of Canada and the Province of Nova Scotia are partnering to provide funding to upgrade water and wastewater systems in Glace Bay, N.S.
The project involves installing a water distribution main and separating the combined sewermain to replace it with new sanitary and stormwater mains.
The improvements to water and sewer systems on many streets in and around Glace Bay will improve the quality of services for residents and protect the environment, indicates a recent government release.
The governments of Canada and Nova Scotia are each investing $4 million in this project through the Rural and Northern Communities Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada plan.
“Good, clean water is essential, and this project helps us provide that to our citizens,” said Cecil Clarke, mayor of Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM), in a statement.
“It also provides 11 kilometres of road rehabilitation, 3,000 metres of sidewalks and 53 direct jobs for each year for the duration of the project. No other municipality in Nova Scotia has the high-priority regulatory wastewater obligations we do, so I greatly appreciate the federal and provincial governments collaborating with us to achieve this positive change for CBRM Citizens.”
