County of Newell gets funding for water distribution lines

Alberta’s government is investing over $15 million to support water distribution lines in the Brooks-Medicine Hat region.

This money will go towards completing various municipal projects through the municipal sustainability initiative. This is a provincial funding stream that provides grants to municipalities to help build and revitalize local public infrastructure.

$15,150,000 will go towards the County of Newell to construct regional water distribution lines.

“I am pleased to announce that over $15 million of grant funding has been allocated to the County of Newell. This funding will have a great impact on our community as the completion of water distribution lines will make accessing water easier and more efficient in rural areas,” explained Michaela Frey,MLA for BrooksMedicine Hat in a statement.
