New Water Treatment Plant Under Construction in Sanikiluaq, Nunavut
What happened
A new water treatment plant is under construction in Sanikiluaq, a hamlet in the territory of Nunavut. The plant is intended to end a water advisory that was issued in the summer of 2016 because the existing water plant's water was high in salt. Previously, homes and businesses in the community of about 1,100 people were required to use reverse osmosis filtration systems to make the water safe.
