What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A proposal has emerged to interconnect all urban areas of Norfolk County with Lake Erie water from Nanticoke. This project is estimated to cost $550 million. The proposal comes as Norfolk County has seen its water rates average a 10-per-cent increase over the last three years, which critics deem unacceptable.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposal addresses regional water needs, but neither the provincial nor federal government has provided funding for the project. The high water rates and the massive, unfunded infrastructure proposal place financial strain on Norfolk County.
