The Salem wastewater extension project includes the construction of a wastewater collection and pumping system to serve part of the community. To protect local groundwater resources, about 30 homes and businesses will be converted from failing on-site systems to a municipal collection and treatment system.
The total investment in the project is $3.2 million, cost-shared equally between the Province and the Municipality of Pictou County. Work will begin this spring.
