Manitoba— Strategic investments in drinking water, wastewater, and ventilation infrastructure enables communities to build and support more housing. Seven communities across Manitoba will benefit from upgrades to vital local infrastructure after a federal investment of more than $15.7 million.

In the Rural Municipality of Macdonald, funding will support the construction of a concrete reservoir with an associated pumping station to service expanding development along McGillivray Boulevard. This new facility will ensure clean and reliable drinking water now and into the future.

The City of Morden will benefit from upgrades to their wastewater treatment system. This work includes constructing a new lagoon system and lift station, as well as re-routing sewage to these structures. These critical additions will enable Morden to comfortably accommodate its trajectory as Manitoba’s fastest-growing city.

Several other communities will also see infrastructure improvements. These include increased wastewater treatment for the Municipality of Boissevain-Morton and the Rural Municipality of Victoria. Improved heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are also on the way for healthcare facilities in the Winnipeg and Municipalities of Lorne and Norfolk Treherne. These upgrades will ensure compliance with building regulations and safeguard the health and well-being of patients, staff, and visitors.
