Report casts doubt on City of Iqaluit’s water contamination theory

Report casts doubt on City of Iqaluit’s water contamination theory

Iqaluit’s water emergency is over, but it’s still going to take months of work to safeguard the city’s water treatment plant from possible future contamination, according to a risk assessment prepared by a consultancy firm hired by the Government of Nunavut. The territorial government hired Wood Environmental and Infrastructure Solutions in late October to review work done by the city’s hired consultancy firm, WSP Canada, after fuel contaminated the city’s water late last year. The six-page report, prepared by Wood, was obtained by Nunatsiaq News through Nunavut’s access to information law.
