$10M for Quebec Water Infrastructure

The municipality of Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies will receive over $10.5 million in joint funding under the Communities component of the Building Canada Fund–Quebec, for drinking water supply, installation of waterworks and sanitary and storm sewer systems, and construction of a wastewater treatment system.

The project involves the installation of drinking water distribution and wastewater collection systems, combined with construction of an aerated pond treatment plant. Some 385 people will benefit from this project.

The governments of Canada and Quebec will each contribute just over $5 million, while the municipality of Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies’s eligible contribution will be $645,392. The municipality is also covering an amount of about $1.5 million that is not eligible under the Communities component of the Building Canada Fund–Quebec. The overall project cost will be nearly $13 million.
