The Winnipeg public service is asking the City for an additional $16.5 million to complete the South End Sewage Treatment Plant (SESTP), which is expected to be in compliance with nutrient removal by year’s end.
The original council-approved project budget was $335.6 million. The new total, if the ask is approved by city councillors, is $352.1 million. A report by the public service said the extra funds are within the project’s class-three estimate, which ranges from $268.5 million to $436.3 million.

On Tuesday, Winnipeg city councillor Scott Gillingham (St. James) tabled a motion for the public service to explore the financial implications of recent and proposed provincial legislation that would make changes to school taxes as well as education support and community revitalization levies.
“The announcement has been that school taxes are being reduced by 25%,” he said. “What impact does that have on the City of Winnipeg’s assessment and taxation department? Because under the school act, municipalities are obligated to collect on behalf of the Province of Manitoba school taxes (and) education levies.”
