2 Local Governments in the Cariboo-Chilcotin receive Infrastructure Planning Grants

The City of Quesnel and the District of 100 Mile House received Infrastructure Planning Grants from the Province of BC. See below for the amounts and purposes of the grants:

City of Quesnel - Sustainable Capacity of Well Fields and GUDI Study – $10,000

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the long-term pumping capacity of each of the seven production wells Quesnel operates and assess potential vulnerability from surface water. Information from this assessment will be used to update the Water Conservation Strategy and establish baseline conditions for long-term asset management of the water system.

District of 100 Mile House - Water Supply Pipeline Preliminary Design Study – $10,000

A 2008 water supply study showed that the quality and reliability of water supplied to 100 Mile House could be improved by taking water directly out of Horse Lake rather than from Bridge Creek. The addition of a dedicated watermain from Horse Lake to the 100 Mile House water treatment facility will also provide a safer, more reliable water source for the District of 100 Mile House.
