Island municipalities now have the opportunity to apply for infrastructure funding under the Clean Water Wastewater Fund, says Transportation, Infrastructure and Energy Minister Paula Biggar.
“Our government is committed to investing in infrastructure that strengthens communities and supports our economic growth. Investing in drinking water supplies and in wastewater management helps our entire province,” said Minister Biggar.
“This week my department will be contacting municipalities across the province to make them aware that this fund is now available. This is an opportunity for our communities to cost-share important projects relating to water and wastewater systems.”
Information on the application process, the program guidelines, and an application form, is available from the Infrastructure Secretariat: Suite 303, 75 Fitzroy Street, Charlottetown. The information is also online at www.gov.pe.ca/tir/infrastructurecwwf.
The deadline for application submissions is June 17, 2016 at 4:30 PM.
