Funding for Two Infrastructure Projects

By 250 News

The federal and provincial governments are investing nearly $1.6 million  dollars  from the Canada-BC mUnicipal Rural Infrastructure  Fund   for two projects  in  communities south of Prince George.

In Alexis Creek, $1.1 million   will be spent to improve access to safe, clean drinking water.  The grant will allow the Cariboo Regional District to create a unified drinking
water system for Alexis Creek. The project involves the installation of a  distribution main, a pressure system, controls, and development of a new well.  This project is conditionally approved pending the successful completion of an  environmental assessment.

The other project  is in Williams Lake  where  the two levels of government are   sharing $483,330 towards  improvements to Williams Lake's stormwater system.

The funding will allow the City of Williams Lake to upgrade its storm- water system to ensure that storm water is directed to an infiltration  and retention basin for treatment. Like the Alexis Creek  project, this one is also  "conditionally approved"  pending the  successful completion of an environmental assessment.
