“Upgrading Edmonton’s wastewater system is something that has to be done right and done soon,” Neighbors said. “This investment helps make sure the system is reliable today while also preparing for future demand and addressing infrastructure needs. I’m grateful to the local leaders who make this work possible, and look forward to the benefits it will bring to all who call Edmonton home.”
