Michelle Pinon - News Advertiser

The Province recently doled out money for major infrastructure projects, and the Town of Mundare’s application for funding of a new lift station was successful.

Colin Zyla, Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Mundare, confirmed the town will be receiving 75 percent funding, ($656,250) for the replacement of its lift station.

The total estimated cost of the project is $875,000. Zyla said the tender for the project should be going out next week, and the hope is that construction can begin in September.

The town is purchasing additional land next to the existing lift station to allow for construction of the new lift station, added Zyla.

Earlier in the week the Province announced the allocation of $150 million for 55 water and wastewater infrastructure projects throughout Alberta that will create an estimated 1,300 jobs.

The Town of Mundare will be replacing its lift station thanks in part to the Province which is providing $656,250 in funding for the project.
