Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, November 24, 2025 - In order to extend the lifespan of existing facilities and improve the efficiency and reliability of the Saint-Hyacinthe wastewater treatment plant, the Governments of Canada and Quebec have increased their planned funding, which has risen from $12,600,000 to $24,926,551 for each order of government, bringing the total investment in the project to $49,853,102.
This was announced by Caroline Desrochers, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure; Genevive Guilbault, Minister of Municipal Affairs; and Andre Beauregard, Mayor of Saint-Hyacinthe.
The modernization of the primary clarifier mechanics and the renovation of the main building's roof will prevent service interruptions and ensure continuity of operations. The integration of new health and safety measures will enhance staff protection, while the upgrade of automation systems will provide better process control.
These interventions are primarily aimed at ensuring the performance and reliability of a facility that is essential to the daily lives of Maskoutaines and Maskoutains.
