Programs & Services
Water Department
Although the Water Department is part of Operations & Maintenance, it operates as a specialized unit responsible for managing and maintaining the community’s potable drinking water systems.
The department is supported by two fully licensed water operators who carry out regular system monitoring, maintenance, and monthly water testing to meet First Nations Health Authority requirements and help ensure safe drinking water for the community.
The Water Department’s priority is to provide reliable, safe, and well-maintained drinking water services for Bonaparte First Nation members.
Water Systems
IR #3
Bonaparte First Nation’s water system has undergone significant upgrades over the past several years. A state-of-the-art Level 1 water system, fully funded by Indigenous Services Canada, is now in place and operating successfully.
IR #1 & IR #2
In 2024, potable drinking water service was upgraded for IR #1 and IR #2. The completion of these upgrades was celebrated with a community opening in the fall of 2024.
These improvements have strengthened access to safe, reliable drinking water for Bonaparte First Nation.
