Water infrastructure upgrades across British Columbia

August 23, 2024 at 2:15 pm  Federal, Politics

Richmond, British Columbia, August 22, 2024 — Four communities across the province are receiving upgrades to their water infrastructure after a combined investment of more than $7.6 million from the federal and provincial governments, and municipal partners.

This was announced by MP Wilson Miao, Minister Anne Kang, and Mayor Malcom Brodie.

Richmond will make upgrades at Minoru Park after a combined investment of more than $2.3 million from the federal and provincial governments and the City of Richmond. The project involves constructing a new stormwater detention pond, improving ditches, and installing a recirculating pump and a wet well to enhance the stormwater management system for increased storage and treatment. The improvements will help maintain cleaner waterways, minimize the risk of flooding, and enhance pathway connections around the lake, while promoting safety and comfort for visitors, fostering community connections to nature, and preserving local ecosystems.

Other projects across the province include rehabilitating a water storage reservoir and constructing a booster station in Hope, upgrading stormwater infrastructure in Harrison Hot Springs, and replacing a submarine water main in the Regional District of Alberni-Clayoquot.
