The Township of Adjala-Tosorontio will receive up to $29,980,769 in provincial funding to rehabilitate its water infrastructure.

The announcement was made by Simcoe-Grey MPP Brian Saunderson at the Adjala-Tosorontio municipal offices on Monday, Jan. 26.

The funding comes from the province’s Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program’s Health and Safety Water Stream.

“Planning for growth means investing in the systems that make it possible,” MPP Saunderson said. “This investment will support important upgrades in Everett while helping ensure Adjala-Tosorontio has the servicing capacity needed to move forward with new housing. IT is about making sure families today, and in the years ahead, can count on safe, dependable infrastructure in their community.

The funding will be used in Adjala-Tosorontio to support upgrades to the Everett wastewater system and new housing servicing.

“I’m delighted to see continued provincial investment which is helping Adjala-Tosorontio modernize the infrastructure that protects our residents,” said Adjala-Tosorontio Mayor Scott W. Anderson. “Working with strong partners and guided by prudent long‑range planning, we are aligning growth with servicing capacity so our community remains safe, sustainable, and well‑served.”

This funding is part of a historic investment of $4 billion in the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program, included in Ontario’s $220 billion capital plan, the most ambitious in the province’s history, to build transit, highways, hospitals, schools and water infrastructure that enables new housing.

“As we continue to navigate economic uncertainty and unwarranted U.S. tariffs, our government is protecting Ontario by investing in critical infrastructure that drives growth, creates jobs and strengthens communities,” said Todd McCarthy, Acting Minister of Infrastructure. “Through our historic $4 billion Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program, we are giving municipalities and First Nations the tools they need to get shovels in the ground and build stronger communities. Our investments will deliver more homes, modernize aging water systems and lay the foundation for long-term prosperity across Ontario.”

In August 2025, Ontario increased the MHIP to $4 billion to speed up construction of homes and core infrastructure, such as roads and water systems. Since its launch in 2024, the MHIP has enabled about 800,000 additional new homes.
