Rural Waterline Update:

Rural Waterline Projected Costs

Estimates have been received for the Rural Waterline Expansion.  Currently, only 1/3 provincial funding is available.  Previously, federal funding was available through the PFRA National Water Supply Program which ended March 31, 2009.  Following this, the federal government has indicated that they now send funds for projects of this type directly to the Province for them to distribute.  Although inquiries have been made, neither federal nor provincial representatives are certain where these funds are now.

For Elton to proceed with waterline infrastructure, federal funding is desperately needed to make this cost affordable for Elton residents.  With only the Provincial 1/3 funding available, costs for connections would be $25,000.  If the Federal 1/3 funding was obtained, the connection cost could be maintained at $15,000.

Council encourages everyone to contact their MLA or MP office to determine where the federal funding is to enable expansion of waterlines to all residents.
