Of the more than 1,000 homes on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, about 75 per cent now have safe drinking water, according to its chief.
Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory is located on the Bay of Quinte in southeastern Ontario.
Brant says lifting these water advisories has lifted a weight off the shoulders of the community, literally and figuratively. For those who still can't access clean drinking water inside their homes, fill stations were installed on the territory with the opening of the treatment plant. Before those stations, residents had to travel off-reserve to purchase water in bulk.
