Water Quality and Supply in Waskaganish

Image: Environmental follow-up
Hydro-Québec is careful to maintain water uses in the rivers extensively used by the Crees. Water color, turbidity and suspended solids will be monitored in the Rupert and Nemiscau rivers, mainly in areas where Cree camps are located and at Waskaganish.

A new drinking water plant will be built in Waskaganish to meet the community's needs until 2025.

The capacity of the current water treatment plant cannot keep pace with the community's future requirements.
