The aim of the project is to connect three new wells (P4, P7 and P8) to the existing distribution system with a view to ensuring adequate water supply for both communities.
Activities include:
– Installing pipes to connect the new wells to the pumping station, which distributes groundwater to the communities’ two water treatment plants
– Building an access road to each new well
– Installing a new distribution chamber near the pumping station
– Possibly installing a new prefabricated reservoir at the Whapmagoostui water treatment plant
– Replacing the pipe between the pumping station and the Whapmagoostui water treatment plant
