Welcome to Lipton
It has been a long road to reach the point where this project was possible, with years of planning and smaller projects paving the way to our ultimate goal. It is an undertaking that will allow future growth in our community, both residential and commercial. The expansion will also include the installation of a septic dump site to help better service our surrounding municipalities and RM’s.
The Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) funding made the lagoon expansion project possible. The Government of Canada, the Government of Saskatchewan, and the Village of Lipton all played a key role, contributing a combined total of more than $1.5 million.
Statement for the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities on the Occasion of the Lagoon Expansion Ground-Breaking in Lipton, Saskatchewan July 4, 2024: “Lipton is a growing community in Saskatchewan and the local lagoon is growing too. The lagoon expansion project will enhance wastewater management and meet environmental standards for the future growth of this community.
We are proud to have supported this project with an investment of $638,300, as it will leave a positive impact on the village, fostering a healthier and more resilient place to call home.
Thank you.”
Quote from the the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, PrairiesCan and CanNor, on behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities: “This lagoon expansion project will increase storage capacity and enhance wastewater and stormwater treatment for years to come. The expanded lagoon in Lipton will help build a greener community by safeguarding waterways to support growth in Lipton.”
“The Government of Saskatchewan is investing in communities to make sure our province remains a great place to call home,” Minister of Government Relations Don McMorris said. “Expanding the lagoon in the Village of Lipton ensures reliable, sustainable services for the future generations who will build and grow their lives in Saskatchewan.”
