Today, Viviane Lapointe, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Official Languages and Associate Minister of Public Safety and Member of Parliament for Sudbury and Sudbury Mayor Paul Lefebvre announced federal funding up to almost $28 million to improve water and wastewater infrastructure in Sudbury.
Funding will support upgrades to the Lively-Walden Wastewater System within the City of Greater Sudbury. These upgrades will increase sanitary sewer capacity in the Lively/Walden sewershed and support development in the area, which is currently limited due to a lack of system capacity.
This project will include construction of lift station upgrades, linear collection system upgrades, an expansion of the Walden Wastewater Treatment Plant and the decommissioning of the Lively Wastewater Treatment Plant. Once completed, the project is expected to enable the construction of 3,300 new homes in the City of Greater Sudbury.
This investment, delivered through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF), plays a crucial role in strengthening essential infrastructure and getting more homes built faster.
