Today, Ken MacDonald, Member of Parliament for Avalon, the Honourable Elvis Loveless, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Sherry Gambin-Walsh, Member of the House of Assembly for Placentia - St. Mary's, and His Worship Eugene Manning, Mayor of St. Bride's, announced a joint investment of $674,881 towards improvements to the Southside Water Reservoir in St. Bride's.
The project involves clearing of vegetation, building an access road, upgrading the existing concrete dam structure, installing primary and secondary screening, including a screen house, as well as building a new concrete spillway.
These improvements will prepare for the chlorination/disinfectant phase, and improve services for residents for years to come.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
