The Town of Greater Napanee has officially broken ground on a major upgrade to its Water Pollution Control Plant, a project designed to support housing growth and improve services for residents.
The project will allow for the construction of up to 4,000 new homes while boosting the reliability and performance of the town’s wastewater system. The Government of Ontario is investing $34.8 million through the Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund, while the Government of Canada is contributing $14 million through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.
The new facility will be built next to the existing Water Street West plant and will reuse current digesters, with the upgraded plant expected to be operational by 2028.
Greater Napanee Mayor Terry Richardson shared, “The Town of Greater Napanee is extremely excited about the major investment in the upgrading of our Water Pollution Control Plant. This upgrade is critical infrastructure that will allow us to continue to be a growing and prosperous community well into the future. It allows us to build homes, attract industry and continue to be a place all of us are proud to call home. None of this could have been possible without the support of our upper tier government partners who believe in our potential.”
Project updates will be shared on the town’s website and Facebook page.
