Miawpukek Mi'kamawey Mawi'omi, Traditional unceded Mi'kma'ki territory, Newfoundland - Indigenous Services Canada
Miawpukek First Nation is embarking on a significant water system upgrade to ensure sustained access to safe and clean drinking water in the community. The installation of booster pumps and upgrades to the water treatment plant will ensure ample water pressure across the entire community.
Situated at the mouth of the Conne River on the south coast of Newfoundland, the Mi'kmaq community will begin design work immediately, supported by Indigenous Services Canada.
The project aims to provide a long-term solution to meet the community's ongoing water requirements, providing a stable foundation for essential housing initiatives. Furthermore, it will address the precautionary long-term drinking water advisory, in effect as of December 20, 2023. The advisory is due to low water pressure within the distribution system, impacting 35 residences on reserve.
