Today, Mike Kelloway, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard and Member of Parliament for Cape Breton-Canso, the Honourable Allan MacMaster, Deputy Premier of Nova Scotia, and Brenda Chisholm Beaton, Mayor of Port Hawkesbury, announced $3.3 million in joint funding to upgrade the Town's water supply and distribution infrastructure.
The project will provide Port Hawkesbury residents with an upgraded water supply and distribution system by replacing the existing Pitt Street water tower and the MacDonald Street pressure reducing valve vault with a new above ground building and associated equipment. The Town will also upgrade the water treatment plant and water system district metering.
A safer, more efficient and more reliable water distribution system will ensure the Town of Port Hawkesbury remains a modern and desirable place to live.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
