Project tracker
Projected lift date: December 2025
Home to 152 people on reserve, Munsee-Delaware Nation in Ontario has completed repairs to their water treatment plant, with funding from Indigenous Services Canada (ISC).
There is 1 long-term drinking water advisory affecting 46 homes and 1 community building:
- a do not consume advisory for the Munsee-Delaware Containerized Public Water System was set in February 2024 and became long-term in February 2025
The advisory was initially put in place due to high levels of manganese in the water supply. Repairs were completed to resolve the water quality issue. In October 2024, an Environmental Public Health Officer recommended the advisory be lifted, however, the advisory was not lifted at that time.
After an assessment of the water treatment plant, the community completed additional repairs. The community is developing an action plan to address new issues with water quality. Once resolved and water sampling is completed, the community should be able to lift the advisory.
