Oki Siksika Residents,
Water leaks in vacant homes are more prevalent this time of year due to colder temperatures and a multitude of other reasons. Due to limited financial and human resources, we are working hard to identify these issues proactively. However, we need your help to address these issues effectively and on time.
When the Community systems operators suspect a leak, it will usually indicate to them it’s happening in a general area. Some of these areas are large and can include up to 307 homes. Water leaks in Nation homes can be detected by noticing the following:
• Stream of water coming from the unit. Trailer units usually do this, with a stream of water coming from underneath the skirting.
• Sounds like water constantly running in the home.
• Homes with basements will usually turn into small reservoirs when a water leak occurs. Basement windows will usually appear foggy.
If you suspect a leak in your area, please contact the following right away.
