Projected lift date: July 2024
Located in northern Saskatchewan, English River First Nation is home to over 700 people on reserve.
There is 1 long-term drinking water advisory:
- A boil water advisory for the La Plonge Public Water System was set in May 2023 and became long-term in May 2024
The precautionary advisory affects approximately 43 homes and 3 community buildings and was initially put in place due to low pressure in the distribution system.
The community is working on upgrades to their water treatment plant, with support from Indigenous Services Canada. The advisory remains in place during the construction phase as there may be system disruptions.
