The Town of Arnprior is applying for an infrastructure grant to replace an aging sixteen inch water-main running below the Madawaska River.
Mayor Walter Stack says the water-main has caused grief for a while.
Stack believes the water-main, accessible only by teams of divers, is a perfect match with the recently-announced continuation of Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding.
While the Ministry of Finance confirmed the funding envelope in a release October 24th, the Mayor says the project is only now in the process of being costed.
