Niverville’s town council has a plan to deal with the shortfall of water from its Spruce Drive water treatment plant. As previously reported, a new wellfield has been identified in the RM of Hanover, to the east of Highway 59, and a pipeline will have to be constructed to connect that well to Niverville’s water system.
Council proposes to spend a total of $2.5 million on the new pipeline, half of which will be paid for by the Manitoba Water Services Board. The other half ($1,250,000) will come from three sources: the Federal Gas Tax Reserve ($550,000), the General Reserve ($100,000), and $600,000 secured through a loan with an estimated interest rate of six percent over six years. Council intends to make the loan’s annual payments of $122,017.58 using monies received by the Manitoba Hydro Community Development Initiative (CDI). As a result, the pipeline will not result in any new tax increases.
A notice from the town indicates that the project will begin once the province concludes its environmental approvals process.
