The provincial government has announced $2.6 million into watermain replacements in Tecumseh.

According to a news release, the funding will replace more than 1.75 kilometres of aging watermain along Centennial Drive and Woodridge Drive. In addition, 13 new fire hydrants will be installed, upgraded water valves, service connections, and full restoration of affected roads and infrastructure will take place.

“Our government is proud to invest in vital infrastructure that keeps communities like Tecumseh safe and thriving,” said Andrew Dowie, MPP for Windsor-Tecumseh.

“This project will ensure residents have reliable access to clean drinking water and will help support future growth and development in our town. By working together with our federal and local partners, we are building stronger, healthier communities across Ontario.”

Tecumseh Mayor Gary McNamara extended gratitude to the Ontario government for putting funding into the town’s infrastructure.

“The $2.6 million investment through the Canada Infrastructure Program will allow us to modernize critical water infrastructure along Centennial and Woodridge Drives, ensuring our residents have safe and reliable access to clean drinking water for years to come,” he said.
