A joint investment of more than $6.6 million from the Provincial and Federal Governments and the Town of Placentia was announced today to help the town improve its drinking water infrastructure. This investment will help the town replace 5.3 kilometres of aging watermain pipes to develop a more reliable and efficient system. Phase one of the project will see work from the Roman Catholic Church in Dunville to Fox Harbour Road including Fox Harbour Road, and phase two will address another section from Fox Harbour Road to the end of the system.
