Sagamok Anishnawbek Water Infrastructure

in progress

The project will upgrade the drinking water distribution and storage systems in the Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation in Ontario. The work will involve extending and looping the existing, closed watermain by 1,230 metres and adding fire hydrants along the new section; upgrading the water tower by replacing the internal liner and rooftop coating, and addressing safety issues; swabbing the entire watermain; and upgrading the infrastructure in the two pump houses by replacing three water pumps and piping and adding a fixed generator for each pump house. The project will improve the delivery of drinking water, allow future community demand to be met, address health and safety concerns associated with a closed watermain, support better fire protection and ensure alignment with provincial standards
