Nine water infrastructure projects in Saskatchewan will improve residents' quality of life and contribute to the province's long-term sustainability and growth thanks to the combined investment of more than $6.9 million from the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan. Announced by Parliamentary Secretary Terry Duguid and Minister Don McMorris, these projects will support communities, enhance their infrastructure, and ensure reliable access to safe and clean drinking water for years to come.
The Village of Zenon Park will receive funding to improve its potable water storage. This work will involve rehabilitating the village's existing water tower, replacing the de-icing circulation system, and other associated works.
Funding will also support upgrades to the Village of Paradise Hill's water treatment plant. The facility will see the installation of biological pre-treatment filters to improve treated water quality and decrease the use of chemical treatments.
The Town of Shaunavon will upgrade two existing drinking water wells to incorporate ultraviolet (UV) light as the source of primary disinfection.
By investing in infrastructure, the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan are growing the economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Saskatchewan residents.
