Mishkeegogamang First Nation
Water treatment plant upgrade and expansion underway
Project tracker
Projected lift date: Spring 2026
Mishkeegogamang First Nation in Ontario is home to approximately 1,143 people on reserve. The community is upgrading and expanding their water treatment plant with funding from Indigenous Services Canada.
There is 1 long-term drinking water advisory affecting 95 homes and 20 community buildings:
- a boil water advisory on the 63B Public Water System was set in May 2024 and became long-term in May 2025
The advisory was initially put in place due to a loss of water pressure. Later, a power outage caused issues with some of the equipment in the community's water treatment plant, including the turbidity meters and UV system. Repairs are currently underway.
The community developed an action plan to upgrade and expand their water treatment plant and work is underway. This long-term solution is expected to be complete in January 2026. Following commissioning and performance testing, the community should be able to lift the advisory.
The Ontario First Nations Technical Services Corporation works with the community to support operations, including mentorship, training and supporting activities on-site.
