O'LEARY, P.E.I. — With $531,000 in federal Gas Tax funding already earmarked for upgrades to the town’s wastewater treatment plant, council agreed to direct $255,000 in funding still available over the next five years to phase two of the upgrades.
O'Leary CAO Bev Shaw said it was necessary to have a plan in place. Noting ongoing problems with the electrical components of the lagoon system, Shaw said repairs and possible replacement of the utility’s UV system could prove costly.
