The City of Nelson will receive $375,000 towards its UV filtration system at the Mountain Station reservoir.

The City of Nelson will receive $375,000 towards its UV filtration system at the Mountain Station reservoir.

It was one of 47 infrastructure projects approved last week under the provincial Towns for Tomorrow program.

The overall work will cost $1 million. City manager Kevin Cormack says they hope another pending grant will fund the balance.

“If we are unsuccessful in that grant we will need to review our water capital program and decide what we can defer to go forward with the UV treatment project,” he says.
