Neepawa has set its water and sewer upgrade priorities for 2023 and hopes the Manitoba Water Services Board (MWSB) will help them get those enhancements going.
Every year, the MWSB asks communities for their five year ‘wish list’ for support on important local projects. These lists are then reviewed and prioritized by the crown corporation, with technical and financial assistance provided to a few of those lucky projects.
This initiative has assisted Neepawa on a some of its most significant water and sewer projects of the past decade. The Town’s local priorities for 2023 are the following and in no particular order:
• The addition of a third raw water well site location (Total project cost is $2 million, though at this time, 50 per cent of that total cost has already been guaranteed to the Town);
• The Highway 16 water main extension project, a.k.a. the services that will be going to the new hospital. (Current projected cost — $4.8 million);
• A meter pit at HyLife Food. (Projected cost — $300,000)
• Water Tower repairs and maintenance (Projected cost — $2 million);
• The Mill Street lift station relocation (Projected cost — $1 million).
