Damage to Ucluelet First Nation’s waterline more severe than anticipated – Global News
The Ucluelet First Nation could be without potable water for longer than expected, after damage to its waterline suspected to be linked to last week’s volcanic eruption near Tonga.
The waterline that supplies the First Nations community of hitacu̓ was snapped on Monday by a tug pulling a log boom.
Community leaders say they believe the line broke free form its anchors at the bottom of Ucluelet Inlet amid aggressive tidal currents, after last Saturday’s eruption triggered a tsunami advisory for the area.
