Securing Joliette's drinking water supply is made possible after an investment of $1,400,000 from the federal government.
By rehabilitating and raising the walls of the intake canal for the drinking water plant, and reprofiling the Gohier dam, this initiative will ensure the sustainability of essential infrastructure and reduce the risks associated with water breaks or contamination.
The project is part of a vision of sustainable development that strengthens the resilience of facilities in the face of climate change. By modernizing these strategic infrastructures, the City of Joliette guarantees a more reliable and secure supply of drinking water, adapted to the community's current and future needs.
Making adaptation investments now will have major economy-wide benefits later. Every dollar that is invested in adapting and preparing for climate-related disasters can return as much as $13 to $15 in benefits.
