Exciting news for Greater Sudbury residents! The City of Greater Sudbury is set to receive a significant infrastructure boost, aimed at addressing the region’s growing housing demands. The announcement of a $62.9 million investment for the Lively-Walden wastewater upgrades will not only improve the region’s sewage systems but will also enable the development of 3,300 new homes in the area.

 

 

The Infrastructure Overhaul: What’s Changing in Lively-Walden?

 

 

The $62.9 million investment is a combined effort from the federal and provincial governments, with $28 million from the federal government and $34.9 million from Ontario’s Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund. These funds will be put towards essential upgrades to the wastewater infrastructure in the Lively and Walden areas, including:

 

  • Expansion of the Walden Wastewater Treatment Plant, allowing it to handle the increased flow from new residential developments.

  • Upgrades to lift stations and improvements to the linear collection system, making the overall system more efficient and capable of supporting the increased demand from new housing.

  • Decommissioning of the Lively Wastewater Treatment Plant, consolidating the system and boosting its capacity.

 

 

This upgrade will play a pivotal role in unlocking new housing opportunities for Sudbury residents and newcomers alike, especially in the highly sought-after Walden area.

This infrastructure project is more than just a utility upgrade—it’s an investment in the future of Sudbury’s housing market.
