By Lin Orosz Grasslands News
Melville’s largest infrastructure project is slated to get “on stream” as scheduled early next year. SaskWater’s $37 million water treatment plant – the largest project undertaken in the city in decades – will start supplying Melville residents and those living beyond, says Eric Light, vice-president of oper- ations and engineering for SaskWater. The completion of the plant and its start of opera- tions is the culmination of a joint municipal-provin- cial-federal government that began construction in 2017. A 30-year agreement signed by SaskWater and the City of Melville in July 2016 called for the Crown Corporation to operate the existing water plant and construct the new water supply system.
