First Nation declares water emergency

TUESDAY, JULY 30, 2002

Heavy rain over the weekend and poor infrastructure have caused the Cat Lake First Nation to declare a state of emergency.

The reserve's water supply is being tainted with raw sewage, which is also seeping into homes and a nursing station. Residents are urged not to drink the tap water.
