Leaders on a Saskatchewan First Nation say they won't lift a decade-old boil water advisory until every home in the community has direct access to clean water from the local treatment plant. Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) can recommend that a boil water advisory be lifted, but it is ultimately up to the local chief and council.

Peepeekisis First Nation, located about 110 kilometres northeast of Regina, has had a boil water advisory active since 2014, when some issues were found at the water treatment plant
