EVERGREEN RESERVOIR / SPADINA LIFE STATION MILESTONE

Today, I was pleased to join Mayor Clark to celebrate two significant achievements in our city. Congratulations to the City of Saskatoon for completing two critical projects. Together, we are investing in infrastructure that builds and protects our city and province.
We recognized the completion and grand opening of the Northeast Sector-Evergreen Reservoir and the Spadina Life Station. These important projects add capacity and longevity to Saskatoon's water systems
Our government is proud to have played a role in bring both these projects to life. The Spadina Life Station, built in the 1940's had reached the end of it's lifespan. The new system will help move more than 60% of collected wastewater upstream, where it will be treated. Under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, your provincial government contributed more than $5.0 million to the Spadina Lift Station.
I had the opportunity to recognize the contributions made towards the construction of the Northeast Sector-Evergreen Reservoir, which received more than $14.6 million from the provincial government through the National and Regional Projects program of the New Building Canada Fund. This new facility has the water capacity of 17 Olympic-size swimming pools and marks the fourth reservoir in Saskatoon that collects water from the Water Treatment Plant and stores it for distribution to neighbourhoods like Evergreen, Aspen Ridge, and Willowgrove.
