The Northwestern Health Unit says its continuing to test water quality
in the region.
In a year-end review of its programs, the Health Unit says enforcement teams
assessed over 900 small drinking water systems in the Kenora and Rainy
River Districts.
It says it has also issued directives to operators to reduce the risk of water
borne illness.
The Health Unit says it also began a new pilot project last year, bringing its
mobile dental office to four first nation communitites.
