Pond Inlet lifts 2-week-long state of emergency
Pond Inlet has lifted the state of emergency it declared more than two weeks ago because of a lack of sewage and water services.
60 homes had sewage overflows while trucks were out of service: deputy mayor
Pond Inlet lifted its state of emergency on Thursday.
The hamlet declared the emergency more than two weeks ago when two out of three sewage trucks broke down and a pump at the lake where the community gets its drinking water had stopped working.
Deputy mayor Joshua Arreak says the community now has three working sewage trucks.
But he says a big clean up still needs to happen because 60 homes had sewage overflows.
