Building a strong Canada starts with investing in the modern and reliable infrastructure that makes it possible to increase housing supply and create resilient communities.
The Build Communities Strong Fund is investing $51 billion in a wide range of infrastructure projects across the country that support economic prosperity, housing, sport, education, health, transit, and climate adaptation.
To that end, the federal government announced an investment of more than $1.8 million in the 16th Avenue Sanitary Trunk Main Project through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.
Project works include upsizing the sanitary sewer along 16th Avenue on the west side of Coaldale by replacing the existing pipe with a 600mm sanitary trunk main. The larger diameter pipe will enhance wastewater conveyance capacity and improve system efficiency by reducing inflow, infiltration, and risk of backups.
In addition to providing residents with reliable wastewater services, the project will accommodate future growth in the Town of Coaldale, such as residential or commercial development.
With comprehensive planning and the design phase complete, construction is expected to begin this spring.
The Build Communities Strong Fund is a cornerstone of the Government of Canada's plan to build the infrastructure needed to build Canada strong - today and for generations to come.
