Provincial, federal and municipal officials have announced almost $12 million in funding for wastewater improvement projects in Tracadie, Caraquet and Lamèque.

The funding will support the renewal of storm and sewer lines on Principale Street in Tracadie and prepare the street to be rebuilt.

In Caraquet, the funding will assist with upgrades to the Landry Street Lagoon to reduce the size of the lagoon, increase the depth, repair dikes, add a synthetic membrane to seal the lagoon and install additional controls.

In Lamèque, the funding will support wastewater infrastructure upgrades.
