The report highlights the installation of 30 kilometres of pipeline outside Melville. The pipe, along with two new wells and a well-control building, were awarded a $10.2 million grant from the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund. Work is now underway on Melville’s new water treatment plant which is expected to be completed by the end of 2019. Towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the corporation also installed 75 solar panels at the Wakaw-Humboldt water treatment plant.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
