City Pursues 3P Money For Clean Water

Council signing off on a submission to try to obtain public-private partnership funding for their 172 million dollar water treatment facility.

Mayor Ivan Court says the city will pursue all funding options.

He add if 3P funding does come through, which would only pay for 25 percent of the costs, he says Saint John will always own their own water and the plant will be operated by Saint John Water employees.

The city, MP Rodney Weston, and MLA’s will also be meeting every month to move things forward as all three levels have agreed to make clean drinking water the city’s top priority.
