Project tracker
Projected lift date: Fall 2027
Home to approximately 970 people on reserve, Asubpeeschoseewagong Netum Anishinabek First Nation, also known as Grassy Narrows First Nation, in Ontario is completing the design of a new water treatment plant, with support from Indigenous Services Canada (ISC).
There is 1 long-term drinking water advisory affecting 210 homes and 16 community buildings:
- a boil water advisory on the Grassy Narrows Public Water System was issued in August 2024 and became long-term in August 2025
The advisory was issued due to low water supply. The community is leading the development of a long-term solution. This includes the construction of a new water treatment plant, intake system, and storage tower, with support from ISC. The project is currently nearing completion of the design phase.
Once construction is completed and the water quality meets regulatory standards, the community should be able to lift the advisory.
