Ontario First Nation still under boil-water advisory after fixing main water line
NORTH CARIBOU LAKE , Ont. — A water main line in a northwestern Ontario First Nation has been fixed but the community will remain under a boil-water advisory until tests confirm there is no contamination.
Bob Nault, the Liberal MP for Kenora, says residents of the North Caribou Lake First Nation who have been without clean drinking water since last week could need to stick to bottled water for up to two more weeks.
Nault says he spoke to the community’s Chief Dinah Kanate, who told him some people had reported experiencing rashes they believed may be related to the water problem.
But he says the link has not yet been confirmed.
