In March 2007, the municipality received a 1.3 M$ grant from the provincial government under the Rural Infrastructure Investment Initiative for the replacement of the water distribution system. A low-interest loan from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities was added to this amount. Works on the distribution system was done in 2007 and 2008 by Robert Excavating. The difference between the grant and the final costs of the contract were apportionned equally among the service users. The municipality also proceeded with the installation of water meters during the fall of 2007 and 2008. The cost of the water meters were paid in part by a grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and by the Wendover water reserve fund. |
