The governments of Canada and Ontario are funding new water and wastewater infrastructure on King St. in Champlain Township
These upgrades will improve wastewater and stormwater management systems and better protect local waterways for the residents of the eastern Ontario community.
The federal government is investing around $1.22 million in this project through the Green Infrastructure Stream, while the government of Ontario is providing approximately $1.02 million. Champlain Township is contributing $830,947 and the United Counties of Prescott and Russell is providing $375,673.
The project involves the construction of 450 metres of new storm sewer and the replacement of an additional 250 metres of undersized storm sewer. The work will also involve the installation of 450 metres of watermain and relining 450 metres of sanitary sewer. New fixtures on King St. will include fire hydrants, valves, manholes, and catch basins for stormwater run-off.
Ontario is investing $10.2 billion under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program to improve public transit; community, culture and recreation; green, and rural and northern community and other priority infrastructure.
