Five long-term drinking-water advisories on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory have ended after more properties were connected to the reserve’s water-distribution system. Officials with Indigenous Services Canada and the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte band announced the changes Monday night in a news release. “I’m very, very happy to see our community members getting safe drinking water,” Mohawk Chief R. Donald Maracle said Tuesday in a telephone interview from the band office. The advisories had been in effect since 2008. They applied to the public water systems in the Tyendinaga Mohawk Airport area, the AC Miracle Apartments, the MBQ Trailer Park, and the semi-public systems of the MBQ Bayview Variety Apartments, about 20 public and semi-public buildings.
