Major water leaks keep Neyaashiinigmiing boil-water advisory in place

In Neyaashiinigmiing (Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation), a boil-water advisory from 2019 remains active due to approximately 21 major leaks in the water distribution system. These leaks, causing a loss of about 600,000 litres of treated water daily, create a risk of contaminated water entering the system if water pressure changes. Crews are now focusing on repairing the identified leaks to eventually lift the advisory.
