Design of long-term solution complete
Project tracker
Projected lift date: Fall 2027
Oneida Nation of the Thames is home to 2,230 people on reserve. The community is working on a solution to meet their long-term water needs, including a connection to an existing municipal water system and distribution system upgrades.
There is 1 long-term drinking water advisory affecting 550 homes and 26 community buildings:
- a boil water advisory on the Oneida Public Water System was set in September 2019 and became long-term in September 2020
Design of a connection to an existing municipal water system including on-reserve distribution upgrades and extensions is complete, and the project will be tendered for construction in early 2026. Construction is expected to take two years. Once construction of the necessary on-reserve infrastructure is complete and the community has connected to the municipal water system, the community should be able to lift the advisory.
