$5.3 Million Investment In Potable Water Infrastructure In Outlook
Recently, Jim Carr, Minister and Special Representative for the Prairies, on behalf of Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and Don McMorris, Saskatchewan’s Minister of Government Relations, announced more than $5.3 million in federal-provincial funding to improve the Town of Outlook’s potable water infrastructure. The project is funded under the Green Infrastructure stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.
The water treatment plant in the Town of Outlook is being upgraded to increase the community’s access to safe and reliable drinking water. Upgrades include the addition of UV disinfection, improving flow through the reservoirs, and constructing a new raw water intake in the South Saskatchewan River. Investments in potable water infrastructure are essential to build healthier and more resilient communities.
The Government of Canada is investing more than $2.9 million in the project, conditional on Indigenous consultation requirements being met, and the Government of Saskatchewan is funding over $2.4 million. The municipality is also contributing more than $1.9 million. Funding recipients are responsible for any additional project costs.
