Les députés fédéral et provincial étaient à Embrun mardi matin, pour annoncer que cinq nouveaux projets à Casselman, Limoges et Russell, avaient été approuvés dans le cadre du Fonds pour l’eau potable et le traitement des eaux usées du gouvernement du Canada, qui fournit jusqu’à 50 % du financement pour ces projets, soit environ 1,5 M$. Le gouvernement provincial fournit quant à lui près de 750 000 $ au titre du total des coûts admissibles. Les municipalités fourniront le reste du financement.

For Russell, the support from the federal ($787,000) and provincial ($393,000) govern- ments will help projects that include water- main twinning and water and wastewater servicing of Russell’s commercial park. “The majority of these funds will help create a back-up water main to the village of Embrun as well as service the current Embrun com- mercial park,” explained mayor Pierre Ler- oux. “We’ve been waiting for this approval for quite some time to move forward with the project - an important project not only
for the current businesses in the park, but for the future development of the area and our municipality”, added Russell councilor and PC candidate Amanda Simard. ForThe Nation, these investments, which add up to just about $645,000, will help build a new water reservoir for the village of Li- moges. “We’ll be able to offer more capacity, which alsomeans more safety for people of Limoges. Thanks to the two upper levels of government, we are now focusing on growth, as opposed to just repairs,” declared The
Nation mayor, François St-Amour. “Casselman is also very thankful for the pumping station we are going to be able to build,” said councilor Lafleur, representing mayor Conrad Lamadeleine. We need to have good water, especially with the growth we are experiencing at the moment.” Laf- leur mentioned over 640 houses which are being built, along with a senior residence and an extra 600 houses still to come. The Village of Casselman is receiving a total of over $430,000.
