Today, the Honourable Joanne Thompson, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, and Member of Parliament for St. John's East, announced a federal investment of over $26.8 million to build a water supply, treatment and distribution system in the Town of Torbay.
This funding will support the development of Great Pond as a municipal water supply. It will include the construction of a water intake and water treatment facility, as well as a fishway to maintain flows for fish passage. Once completed, the project will ensure that Torbay residents have access to safe and reliable drinking water, while also paving the way for more home construction.
This investment, delivered through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF), plays a crucial role in strengthening essential infrastructure and getting more homes built faster.
