Municipal Water and Sewer Program
The Water and Sewer Program is a partnership between MWSB and Manitoba Municipalities/Registered Water Co-operatives. Technical and financial assistance is provided to develop safe, sustainable water and sewer infrastructure. Assistance for projects is based on a 2-tiered system, as follows:
Tier 1. 50%Grant - Priority One: Projects with documented public health or environmental problems.
50%Grant - Priority Two: Projects with economic benefit to Manitoba and the Municipality.
Tier 2. 30%Grant - Priority Three: Projects which are primary local improvement in nature.
MWSB may consider an additional Provincial grant to a maximum of 10% for accepted projects constructed north of the 53rd parallel. MWSB does not assist with infrastructure development to new subdivisions and/or recreational areas.
Planning Process
- Municipalities forward a request, by resolution for a project to be considered by MWSB.
- MWSB will prioritize the project requests.
- In instances where projects are not well defined, MWSB may work with the Municipalities to conduct an engineering feasibility study to determine the “best sustainable option”.
- Once all funds have been identified for the project, MWSB will sign an agreement with the Municipality to:
- begin the project planning and pre-design
- obtain engineering services including detailed design, environmental assessment, licensing and construction supervision
- call tenders, award and manage construction contracts
- provide technical support during a one year warranty after the project has been completed
