Bokhari pledges to fast-track North End Water Treatment Plant upgrades

Winnipeg mayoral candidate Rana Bokhari wants to speed up the North End Water Treatment Plant upgrades as well as provide more money to the Combined Sewer Overflow Plan if elected this fall. Speaking to reporters outside the North End plant on Monday, Bokhari said that she aims to have upgrades to the facility completed by 2033, 12 years ahead of schedule. Bokhari would also up the spending on the Combined Sewer Overflow Plan to $60 million a year. She commended the city for upping its budget from $30 million a year to $45 million. Bokhari says she would work with the province and federal governments to match that.
