Anishnaabeg of Naongashiing

Home to 204 people on reserve, the Anishnaabeg of Naongashiing in Ontario replaced its existing water treatment system, with funding from Indigenous Services Canada.

There is 1 long-term drinking water advisory affecting 45 homes and 6 community buildings:

• a boil water advisory on the Anishnaabeg of Naongashiing Big Island Water Treatment System was set in February 2019 and became long term in February 2020

Work to upgrade the water treatment process and expand the building and water reservoir is complete. The community will operate the water treatment plant for several weeks to ensure stable operations and good water quality before the drinking water advisory is lifted. Training and support is being provided to the community's water operator.
