Green Municipal Fund commits over $4.3 million to Brant’s Mount Pleasant drinking water initiative 2010.02.03 Brant Expositor
N.B. this funding comes from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' Green Municipal Fund, not from the federal government's allege economic stimulus package.

Water rate hike is 'stealing,' Saskatoon told 2009.12.01 CBC.ca
Looks like the only way for the consumer / citizen / taxpayer / ratepayer to win is to drop their water consumption still further than their neighbours. Higher rates means every litre not consumed is worth more. Eventually, use of rainwater for non-potable needs and grey-water use may become cost effective (e.g., for flushing toilets). Municipal officials need to consider what their desired end-game is, if raising water rates is going to be their tool of choice.

‘Buy American horror stories' building 2009.11.06 Financial Post
Clearly, the Canadian government's infrastructure stimulus package is not taking up the slack created by the Buy American policy attached to the U.S. stimulus funding. Sadly, the Canadian government appears content to export these jobs to the U.S. along with the expertise that goes with them, meaning we will import these products from the U.S. in the future. Ironic when we know there is an infrastructure deficit in our municipalities and the Auditor General has just reported that water and waste water management infrastructure in many native communities (a federal responsibility) are sub-standard.

Two things to note in this article. The project is expected to be completed "soon", which is presumably sometime in 2010 at the earliest. The other is that this project is being funded because enough other projects that originally received funding have since been disqualified - not encouraging news in terms of getting stimulus money out into the economy during 2009.

If playing the federal infrastructure lottery game isn't working for municipalities, perhaps some 'outfrastructure' might be in order. One way to reduce waste-water costs is to reduce the volume being treated. Rain barrels can help with storm-related overflows and the Water Saver can help reduce waste-water volumes if installed on a widespread basis.

An interesting article that shows the odd position of many Canadian municipal water services regarding water conservation. One on hand, a water & wastewater service provider may offer incentives for certain water conservation measures (but not others - like our Water Saver), and then threaten to raise rates for consumers because the water conservation measures were effective.

Canada and New Brunswick invest in Quispamsis infrastructure 2009.09.10 The Gov Monitor
(This is just one of a raft of federal re-announcements of funding. However, none of these announcements includes details of the date that the projects broke ground or jobs were created because the government processes for getting things going are so cumbersome that most of these projects won't actually break ground until 2010. The reality is that unemployment is continuing to rise in Canada and these initiatives are not addressing that reality in a timely manner.)

Municipality to receive $13 million for water, sewer projects 2009.02.21 Sun-Times
But nobody's asking the question (let alone answering it), 'If this is supposed to represent immediate economic stimulus, when will the construction actually begin and the cash start flowing in the local economy?'

$3.5m set for towns’ waste water treatment 2009.02.21 Halifax Chronicle-Herald

‘It’s raining money’ say Lemieux and Lalonde undated TheReview.on.ca
Let's take a closer look at this apparent cash cornucopia.
First, this is a federal announcement, so until both the province and the municipality each pony up $12-million each, nothing happens.
Second, consider this quote from a federal Liberal press release dated 2009.02.15:
"In the first year following the launch of the $8.8-billion Building Canada Fund, the Conservative government flowed zero funding to infrastructure projects. Worse, last week officials at Infrastructure Canada admitted that of the $1.5 billion announced in its first two years of budgeted spending, only $80 million has flowed for municipal infrastructure projects across the country."
Third, by the time an RFP is issued, tenders received and evaluated, a winner determined, a contract signed, the contractor ramps up to do the work, gets feet on the ground, and something sufficiently completed to warrant issuing an invoice under the contract, and the invoice actually gets paid (after the municipality actually gets the federal and provincial shares promised, it will undoubtedly be well into 2010. Let's hope the winning contractor has enough cash or credit (which apparently is tight) to be able to pay for labour and materials from when they are needed until the municipality shells out for the work done. More on the 2009 federal budget and alleged stimulus package.
Finally, let's remember, this is all tax money, coming out of our pockets at the end of the day.

Another approach would be to reduce the immediate storm flow to the sewage treatment system using residential rainbarrels, cisterns and community catch-basins which would provide water appropriate for irrigation without it having been subjected to expensive municipal treatment raising it to drinking water standards, while also reducing the underlying sewage volume by use of ULF toilets and even more cost-effective technology like the Water Saver toilet fill diverter.
