It's only a matter of days now before a major funding announcement is made for the city's water system. Mayor Ivan Court has confirmed millions of dollars are on the way from multiple levels of government --but--would not go as far as to say the money would be used for clean drinking water.
The city is currently considering it's options when it comes to drinking water treatment--including whether to have two water treatment plants at a cost of about 214 million dollars--or--having just one central plant which may cost only 65 million dollars. Court says council will be meeting this week with a consultant to look at ways to get the most for less.
