A housekeeping request tied to provincial grant conditions: Council is asked to pass a by-law formally recognizing the construction contracts awarded for the Wyndham-Wellington water and wastewater upgrade. The City received $2.1 million from the Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund, and the reporting is required to keep it. The work replaces sewer and watermain pipes on Wellington Street East and Wyndham Street South, aiming to enable 150 shovel-ready homes by 2027. The contract went to J.G. Goetz Construction for $2,751,814 before HST.
