Communities across Nova Scotia are getting money to support water and wastewater projects.
The province announced 10 regions will share $690,000 from the Provincial Capital Assistance Program.
The Municipality of Chester will receive $61,000 towards the expansion of their wastewater facilities while the District of Barrington picks up slightly more than $92,000 to help replace the Clarifier Brass Hill treatment plant
MLA Suzanne Lohnes-Croft was in Lunenburg to announce $37,500 would be used to study the Town’s wastewater treatment system.
“This helps municipalities in a partnership to be able to take on some infrastructure projects.”

Mayor Rachel Bailey says the $37,500 Lunenburg received would be used to determine where any odours may be coming from their wastewater treatment system.
“There are other places in the process when you’re dealing with sewage that you may incur some odours. This study will include all of those things and see if there are other mitigating steps that can be taken.”
Bailey says the study being conducted by CBCL will wrap up within the next couple of months.
