Iqaluit can’t afford to fix its $26.5M sewage treatment headache – Nunatsiaq News

But 2018 federal compliance deadline approaching
Fixing Iqaluit’s floundering wastewater facility will cost $26.5 million — but Iqaluit doesn’t have the money.
That’s what Iqaluit city councillors heard from the city’s engineering and sustainability project officer, Paul Clow, at a council meeting June 23.
Clow told council that engineering and consulting firm Stantec finished its feasibility study on the wastewater facility and concluded that the cheapest and best option is to expand and upgrade the current infrastructure.
There’s just one problem.
Clow said the city is short almost $10 million.
