Uranium City residents may soon be able to turn on their taps and have clean drinking water, something they haven't had in decades. The Water Security Agency issued a precautionary drinking water advisory for the tiny northern community in May 2001 and an emergency boil water advisory in February 2015. Both those advisories are still in effect. According to the latest provincial auditor's report, the province is in trying to secure $1.7 million in federal funding under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program to fix the Uranium City water treatment plant.
