Project tracker
Projected lift date: TBD
Home to 751 people on reserve, Chippewas of Nawash First Nation, in Ontario, is building a new water treatment plant and upgrading the current water distribution system with funding from Indigenous Services Canada.
There is 1 long-term drinking water advisory affecting 300 homes and 16 community buildings:
- a boil water advisory has been in effect on the Cape Croker Public Water System since January 2019 and became long term in January 2020
The construction of a new water treatment plant is complete and it is capable of producing safe drinking water, but some infrastructure deficiencies require further attention to deliver safe water to community members. Work is underway to address leaks in the distribution system.
Once the leaks have been addressed, the community should be able to lift the drinking water advisory.
