The official opening of Wellfield#8 on Lafleur Road was held today, providing a reliable source of water at 20 L/s to the Township of North Dundas. Township staff and project partners Louis W. Bray Construction, Ontario Clean Water Agency and J.L. Richards & Associates gathered today to mark this momentous occasion.
Bringing this new water source online is a major step in meeting our current servicing demand, while preparing for our future water demand. This project is one of the many infrastructure upgrades that we have completed to future-proof the Township of North Dundas, opening the door for new commercial and residential developments.
This project was a recipient of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, a joint federal and provincial government program, with the federal government contributing $1.9 million dollars and the provincial government contributing $1.6 million dollars toward the project. The remainder of the funding will continue to be raised through water rates and future capital connection charges within the Villages of Winchester and Chesterville.
