The governments of Canada and Ontario have announced that 30 new projects in the Region of Peel have been approved under the Government of Canada’s Clean Water and Waste Water Fund. The federal government is providing up to 50 per cent of funding for these projects—over $69 million. The provincial government is providing up to 25 per cent of funding for these projects—over $34 million, and the recipient will provide the balance of funding.
Thanks to this investment, residents in the Region of Peel will benefit from a number of sewage pumping stations being rehabilitated or replaced, as well as equipment at several water pollution control plants being replaced. These projects are essential to keeping our waterways clean and our communities healthy and livable.
In addition to these projects, $7.2 million in federal funding for 16 water and wastewater projects will benefit four other communities across Ontario.
This investment is part of an agreement between Canada and Ontario for the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund.
