[캐나다] 뉴브런즈윅, 폐수처리 시설 개선

캐나다의 뉴브런즈윅 연방 Gas Tax Fund를 통한 투자를 받아 폐수처리 시설의 대규모 개선사업을 지원할 예정이라고 밝혔다.

기반시설 프로젝트는 Fundy Bay, Gillies, Greensborough, Harvey Lake, Havelock, Roachville, and Sainte-Marie-de-Kent 로 구성될 예정이며 지역의 폐수 수집 및 처리시스템을 개선할 계획이다.  캐나다 주 정부는 7개의 프로젝트에 Gas Tax Fund를 통해 1천만 달러를 지원하고 뉴브런즈위은 지역 기반시설 향상을 위한 기금으로 2억9천500만 달러를 지원받는다.

A number of communities throughout the province of New Brunswick, Canada, will soon receive major improvements to their wastewater infrastructure backed by federal investments made through the federal Gas Tax Fund.

The infrastructure project will comprise seven communities -- Fundy Bay, Gillies, Greensborough, Harvey Lake, Havelock, Roachville, and Sainte-Marie-de-Kent -- that will see upgrades and improvements to their wastewater collection and treatment systems.

The Government of Canada is contributing approximately $10 million to these seven projects through the federal Gas Tax Fund. To date, New Brunswick has received close to $295 million from the fund to improve local infrastructure.
Work will span over several years and will range from upgrading and improving existing systems to constructing new wastewater treatment facilities and systems.

In some areas, additional households will also be connected to the local treatment system. Thanks to these projects, cleaner water will flow into local wells and rivers, such as the Saint John River, the Petitcodiac River, the Kennebecasis River, and the Bouctouche River.

The proper treatment of wastewater ensures the health and safety of families and residents while protecting the environment. Projects like these will contribute to the health and wealth of New Brunswick communities for years to come.
