Recent delay in deliveries caused by breakdown of community water truck and vandalism, says mayor Adamie Kalingo
A lack of water deliveries in Ivujivik has negatively impacted the health of residents, says a local teacher.
Milena Racheva, a 10-year resident of Ivujivik who lives with her son and husband, said her family and several neighbours stopped receiving weekly water deliveries more than a month ago.
Ivujivik, a village at the northern tip of Quebec’s Ungava peninsula that has a population of around 400, depends on water deliveries from a single municipal truck, which is prone to break down, Racheva said.
