Project tracker

Projected lift date: December 2025

 

Tataskweyak Cree Nation is a remote community of 2,353 people on the shore of Split Lake, northeast of Thompson, Manitoba.

There is 1 long-term drinking water advisory affecting 361 homes and 5 community buildings:

  • a boil water advisory on the Tataskweyak Cree Public Water System (#6602) was issued in May 2017 and became long-term in May 2018

Upgrades to the existing water treatment plant, as well as a source water assessment and water quality study were completed in 2019. Infrastructure is in place that can produce clean drinking water.

Construction has begun for a long-term solution that will source the community's water from Assean Lake. This long-term solution includes construction of a new water treatment plant at Assean Lake, conversion of the existing water treatment plant to a booster station, and the installation of the necessary piping needed to deliver water to the community. The project is expected to be complete in summer/fall 2025.

The community also recently completed work to improve its wastewater treatment system, with support from Indigenous Services Canada.
