With water quality strategy finalized, government says they have momentum to fix issues

Nunavut is no stranger to boil water notices, but this year alone 11 out of 25 Nunavut communities have been given that order at least once.

Some, like in Rankin Inlet and Iqaluit, are precautionary measures due to infrastructure upgrades.

Most of the other notices are for issues like inconsistent chlorine levels, high turbidity (cloudiness) and high bacteria levels.
