Manitoba towns gain water and sewer systems
Manitoba towns and villages are adopting water and sewer systems with the help of the Manitoba Water Supply Board. Since Altona first received water from a Pembina river dam, more than 25 communities have applied, boosting health safety and real estate values. Projects in Deloraine Hamota Reston aim to start selling water in 1963, with grants funded by the province and charges based on actual cost.
