Today, René Arseneault, Member of Parliament for Madawaska-Restigouche, the Honourable Réjean Savoie, Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation, and Her Worship Lise Anne Roussel, Mayor of Vallée-des-Rivières, announced a joint investment of more than $4.3 million to upgrade municipal water infrastructure in three Northern New Brunswick communities. His Worship Jean-Pierre Ouellet, Mayor of Baker Brook, and His Worship Normand Pelletier, Mayor of Heron Bay, were also in attendance.
This investment will enable improvements to the water and sewer networks that will increase drinking water quality and allow for better management of wastewater and stormwater in Baker-Brook and Heron Bay. Additional work to close the loop on the water network will be undertaken in the Honoré-Roy area in Saint-Léonard, which will increase water pressure and quality.
These projects will help increase access to clean drinking water in these communities and improve their capacity to manage wastewater and stormwater.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
