The Pas Mayor Herb Jaques spoke to Arctic Radio recently to talk about the community’s sewage lagoon, due to issues with the lagoon the province of Manitoba didn’t allow The Pas to build any new projects until the issues were resolved.

Mayor Jaques announced that the Town will receive funding from the Manitoba Government through the Restart Program that will cover around 60 percent of the cost to build a new lagoon.

The goal is to start construction on the new lagoon sometime next summer. The full interview with Herb Jaques can be found on The Pas Today.
