New water treatment plant

Six Nations of the Grand
River opened its new water treatment plant at the end of January. The federal
government provided more than $26 million towards the construction of the $41.4
million project and Six Nations of the Grand River invested approximately
$15.4. “This project is very important for the future economic growth and
development opportunities in our community,” said Chief Ava Hill, in a news
release. The cost-shared initiative encouraged the involvement of the community
in all aspects of the project and will provide the resources for long-term
sustainability of the community and the families that live there. The new
plant's capacity much improved: the plant now has a total production capacity
of 4,050 cubic meters of water per day, which is significantly higher than the
actual production capacity of 1,036 cubic meters per day provided by the old
plant.
