Enhanced water treatment services are coming to Mount Lorne after an investment of more than $3.6 million from the Government of Canada.
Funding will support the design and construction of a new water treatment plant and secondary infrastructure, which will produce potable water to address the current needs and the future growth of the community. The project, managed by the Government of Yukon, will include modern filtration and disinfection systems. It will also connect the Lorne Mountain Community Centre to the new drinking water supply through a buried water service connection with freeze protection, ensuring long-term resilience under a changing climate.
The future water treatment plant and associated infrastructure will help provide safer and more reliable drinking water to residents of Mount Lorne.
