Purpose

The Fredericton Northeast Growth Area Water System Extension Project in Fredericton, New Brunswick aims to provide essential water and sewer infrastructure for the immediate development of the Northeast Growth Area. This area will include a variety of residential developments, such as single detached dwellings, various forms of missing middle housing, and apartments from 4-8 floors. The project addresses the need for housing and infrastructure by constructing a water reservoir, a water booster station, linear water, sewer, and municipal infrastructure, and extending public water service to Sitansisk First Nation property. This project will enable approximately 4,000 new units, with an additional 900 units unlocked by the water booster station. A significant barrier is the necessity of the water reservoir for fire protection and ongoing construction, without which development cannot proceed. The expected outcomes include immediate viability for existing development potential, creation of new residential and institutional development opportunities, and enhanced connectivity to Sitansisk First Nation, fostering growth within this community.
