MLCN going on a week without running water
Members of Montreal Lake Cree Nation, who live on reserve, are on day six of no running water.
This of course has obvious implications for taking showers or baths, or doing laundry.
According to a written statement provided to members from Chief Joyce McLeod on June 28, and obtained by paNOW, the issue has to do with repairs at the community’s water treatment plant and the need to order additional parts that were not available in Saskatchewan.
“Social Assistance and Public Works are continuing to deliver water jugs to homes within the community and will continue until this emergency subsides,” she wrote. “Due to the limit of water jugs, please limit your use of water.”
