Today, René Arseneault, Member of Parliament for Madawaska-Restigouche, on behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities; the Honourable Gary Crossman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation; and His Worship Éric Gagnon, Mayor of Kedgwick, announced a joint investment of more than $3.9 million to improve drinking water security and stormwater management for Kedgwick residents.
Funding will go towards the replacement of water and sewer service pipes on Notre-Dame Street from the intersection of rue des Montagnes to Saint Jean Baptiste Street, as well as the installation of a new storm sewer line to separate sanitary sewer collection service. The project will eliminate boil water advisories caused by emergency work and reduce the overflow of stormwater into the sanitary system. The improvements will help provide more reliable services to residents and protect the environment. The roadway will also be rebuilt with new concrete curbs and sidewalks.
The Government of Canada is investing more than $1.5 million in this project. The Government of New Brunswick is contributing over $1.3 million and the Village of Kedgwick is providing more than $1 million.
