The community of Clearwater is benefiting from $400,000 in Towns for Tomorrow funding for their Sanitary Sewer Treatment Upgrading. The project involves constructing two new infiltration basins and upgrades the existing treatment cells to a total storage volume of 10,000 cubic metres.
The Towns for Tomorrow program is investing $71 million over five years to help small municipalities enhance community infrastructure and create legacies for the future. Projects eligible for funding include: water quality and energy improvements; enhancement of protective and emergency infrastructure services; and development of recreation, tourism or cultural amenities with long-term benefits for local residents.
