Programs & Services
Although the Water Department is a component of Operations and Maintenance, it functions as an independent unit, managing all of the potable drinking water in our community. Our water systems are maintained by 2 fully-licensed operators, who test water every month to satisfy First Nations Health Authority regulations and to ensure the community has safe drinking water.
Water Systems
IR #3
Our fully-functioning small water system has been providing potable water for the past 3 years. We will upgrade it to a state-of-the-art, level-1 system in spring 2022. Indigenous Services Canada fully funded this system. The system is up and running successfully.
IR #1 and IR#2
We upgraded to potable water to IR #1 and IR #2 in 2024, and have celebrated the opening in fall 2024.
