THE ONEIA NATION of the Thames has been under a boil water
advisory since 2019. To resolve this, a $43 million project is underway
to connect the community to the Lake Huron Primary Water Supply
System and upgrade its distribution network. The project involves
constructing an 18-kilometer pipeline to link Oneida’s existing water
system to the Lake Huron supply near Mount Brydges. Additionally,
the on-reserve distribution system will be upgraded and expanded
to ensure reliable access to safe drinking water and improved fire
protection. •
