The CBU Water Supply and Housing Development Project in Sydney, Nova Scotia aims to address the growing needs of Cape Breton University’s campus and the surrounding community. The project includes planning and capital construction phases to establish a new water supply system for the university and the neighboring Tanglewood subdivision. Detailed components involve feasibility studies, design of transmission and distribution mains, storage, and pumping facilities, as well as an assessment of the existing municipal wastewater infrastructure. The project will enable the development of over 200 new housing units, supporting sustainable growth and improving the quality of life for residents. The outcome will ensure a reliable drinking water supply for CBU and facilitate housing expansion in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
