Infrastructure Canada
The Cedarwood Sanitary Pump Station is receiving upgrades with an investment of $3.6 million through the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund (DMAF) as announced by MP Irek Kusmierczyk.
This includes reinforcing existing infrastructure with modern materials. The pump station was built in 1972 and serves a 920-hectare area in Tecumseh. Modernizing it will help keep the residents safe by mitigating basement flooding risks amidst the impacts of climate change in Tecumseh.
Making adaptation investments now will have major economy-wide benefits later. Every dollar that is invested in adapting and preparing for climate-related disasters can return as much as $13 to $15 in benefits.
