​

​

The provincial government will provide New Tecumseth $12,527,165 for the Alliston Wastewater Treatment Plant Clarifier Rehabilitation through the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program’s Health and Safety Water Stream.

​

Clarifiers are settling tanks used to remove solid particulates or suspended solids from liquid and this rehabilitation work is vital to ensure the system continues to operate safely, reliably, and in compliance with environmental standards.

​

The funding allows the Town to proactively address risk, reduce the potential for costly failures, and maintain the infrastructure capacity needed to support the community today as well as the growth expected in the years ahead.

 

“This investment supports one of the most critical components of our Town’s wastewater system,” said Mayor Richard Norcross. “As a community, we rely on resilient infrastructure every day, and I’m grateful to the Province and to MPP Saunderson for their support.”
