The Village of Keremeos is now flush with cash to upgrade its aging sewage treatment plant.
The small Similkameen community was granted $3.9M from the federal government’s gas tax fund for upgrades to the plant.
Mayor Manfred Bauer says the existing facility was built back in 1982.
“It’s certainly in dire need of upgrades, and with the growth we are experiencing, when this sewer plant was put in place we probably only had half the people we do now.”
The upgrades will take place over the next three years, possibly starting later this year.
“We are really pleased we will be able to accommodate our growth in the future by upgrading our infrastructure,” Bauer added.
The village also received $89,000 to undertake condition assessments on the Village’s sanitary and road system networks.
