The federal government has joined the B.C. government in a commitment to fund two-thirds of a $4.5 million water treatment facility for the District of Sicamous. Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton received word Friday morning (March 28) from Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes that the federal government will be providing $1.5 million for the facility’s construction. The funding comes through the Provincial-Territorial Base Fund for infrastructure under the federal Building Canada Plan. The federal funding was announced Friday afternoon as part of a joint commitment with the B.C. government, which is also contributing $1.5 to the project “That’s pretty darn exciting… it makes it all possible now,” Trouton said in a Market News interview. In October, Trouton announced the province was committed to providing one-third funding. This was after a visit by Sport and Cultural Development Minister Bill Bennett, who presented a cheque for $50,000 to fund a pilot project to test the filtration technology proposed for the new treatment facility. The pilot was to span six months, while the province worked with its federal counterparts to come up with funding options for the $4.5 million plant, to replace Sicamous’ current water treatment infrastructure that was severely compromised as a result of the June 23 debris flows at Two Mile and Swansea Point, as well as subsequent flooding.
