More than $23 million backs water and wastewater work in Newfoundland and Labrador
By Workvado / Litequo LLC · Published · Updated
Ten municipal infrastructure projects are intended to support capacity for as many as 1,800 homes across the province.
The federal and Newfoundland and Labrador governments, working with municipalities, announced more than $23 million for 10 water, wastewater, stormwater and solid-waste projects. The announcement says the work will enable construction of up to 1,800 housing units.
Examples include a $5.3-million replacement of water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure on Holden Street in Mount Pearl, a $6.4-million water-tower replacement in Twillingate and a $6.8-million water and wastewater infrastructure replacement in Stephenville.
Funding contributions across the 10 projects include $10,093,907 from the federal government, $9,467,281 from the province and $4,107,013 from participating municipalities. These are announced investments; the release does not provide procurement schedules for each project.
What it means on site
The program points to upcoming civil and utility work tied to housing capacity, but contractors will need to follow municipal and provincial procurement notices for bid opportunities, scope and timing. The announcement alone is not a tender.
