Potlotek water woes

Dirty water will continue to come out of the taps on the Potlotek First Nation for at least a couple of years.

Federal officials including engineers will be coming to the First Nation next month to address the domestic water crisis in the community which sees dark brown water coming out of the taps.  Some think the bad water is making people sick.

Chief Wilbert Marshall says taking two years to fix it is unacceptable.

MP Roger Cuzner says efforts so far have just been Band-Aids and a major initiative is needed.
