Red Rock First Nation and Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishnaabek First Nation will have $1,519,700 and $77,760 receptively for work on water intake lines. Red Rock community will install new intake lines. These lines connect the raw water to the water treatment plant.

Once a solution has been agreed upon, the department will provide further financial contributions.
