Three long-term drinking water advisories at Northwest Angle No. 33 First Nation have been lifted following construction of a new water treatment plant in Angle Inlet, Ontario.

Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) said in a July 4 news release that the new centralized water treatment plant “will provide reliable access to safe and clean drinking water for 100 residents” and has the capacity to support future population growth the next two decades.
