‘This is the beginning.’ New funding to help address Behchokǫ̀ water issues
Original article ↗Key figures
“We’re always repairing every week all through the winter, and same thing with Edzo.” On Monday, the federal government announced $4.83 million, to be supported by $1.6 million in other funding, to replace underground water and sewer infrastructure in the community.
The Canadian government also committed $536,250 – plus $178,750 from other levels of government – to study and upgrade the raw water supply system serving Rae’s water treatment plant.
Monday’s funding announcement for Rae was part a broader $44.9 million the federal government committed to support water, wastewater and solid waste infrastructure in 14 NWT communities.
The money comes from $74.2 million earmarked for the territory over 10 years through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund, which was announced last year.
