Ontario Launches Water Infrastructure Funding Program
The Ontario government has announced that applications for the Health and Safety Water Stream of the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program (MHIP) will open on February 12, 2025. This initiative provides $175 million in funding to support municipalities and First Nations in Ontario.
The program aims to enhance access to safe drinking water, improve wastewater services, and ensure communities are better protected during extreme weather events. This funding is part of ongoing efforts to support infrastructure improvements across the province.
Kinga Surma, Minister of Infrastructure, highlighted the program's role in facilitating new investments and infrastructure in rural communities. The initiative is expected to benefit various regions by strengthening essential water services.
