Water infrastructure upgrades in the Sea to Sky Country

Pemberton, British Columbia, July 19, 2024 — Two communities in the Sea to Sky Country are receiving upgrades to their water infrastructure

This was announced by Patrick Weiler, Member of Parliament for West Vancouver – Sunshine Coast – Sea to Sky Country, Minister Anne Kang, and Councillor Ted Craddock.

Pemberton will make upgrades after a combined investment of more than $8.1 million from the federal and provincial governments, and the Village of Pemberton. This project will construct a new water treatment plant to provide efficient and reliable water treatment services. It will include an oxidation and filtration system to lower iron and manganese levels in the source water, thereby increasing quality of the drinking water.  

Also, following a combined investment of more than $1.5 million from the federal government and Líl̓wat Nation, with support from the Government of B.C., rehabilitation and improvements are underway at Grandmother Slough, a fish-bearing stream within the Lillooet River floodplain. This project includes removing invasive reed canary grass, upgrading four culverts at two major crossings – Main Street and Highway 99 East – to improve water flow capacity, enhancing hydrometric monitoring, and restoring natural infrastructure to protect the salmon habitat. These upgrades will safeguard infrastructure, preserve the environment, and mitigate the impacts on water quality and ecosystems during future flood events.
