Windigo Island Water Treatment Facility Interim Upgrade

Client: Windigo Island

Location: Northwestern Ontario, Canada

The remote First Nation community of Windigo Island had been on long-term Boil Water Advisories for several years. Working with Animakee Wa Zhing 37, JR Cousin Consultants Ltd. implemented an interim solution to lift the BWA while funding was secured for a new treatment plant.

JRCC and Delco Water designed a system for upgrading the existing water treatment plant with minimal costs on an accelerated timeline.

Thanks to the first North American installation of a Pentair HFW1000 chlorine-resistant hollow-fibre nanofiltration membrane, Windigo Island residents now have safe drinking water as the BWA was lifted in February 2019.
