Full Court Press To Begin On Clean Drinking Water

Common Councillors will learn everything they need to know over the next several weeks about a public-private partnership to bring clean drinking water to the city with construction of a water treatment plant on the east side.

A number of meetings are being scheduled with the aim being to draw up an application for funding by early April. 

Mayor Mel Norton, who would like to break ground later this year, is adamant the city will not be giving up control and ownership of its water.

Common Council will be getting a value for money study in the next little while to give a better idea whether this arrangement makes financial sense for the city.
