Drinking Water Update – Additional Potable Water Available

The City of Iqaluit has received several thousand litres of potable water, in 4L containers, on this afternoon’s flight. Water distribution centres will be set up at the following locations today, October 14th, 2021:

- Building 901 (Arnaitok Arena) parking lot, from 3:30PM to 8:00PM

Residents will be provided with a maximum of 4- 4L jugs per household. These containers are reusable, and we encourage residents to keep them for future water storage and collection.
