Major water leaks keep Neyaashiinigmiing boil-water advisory in place
Current status: Status unconfirmed (as of 24/09/2026, 23:45). Older update notes in the history text may be outdated.
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. Update (cknxnewstoday.ca, 21.09.2026, 22:05): A new treatment plant is capable of producing safe drinking water, indicating the issue preventing lifting of the advisory lies solely with distribution system deficiencies.
