Any major repairs are contracted out. Water MFN has a primary and secondary operator for its type 2 Water Treatment system. Water is piped to homes from several community wells (groundwater). The Water Treatment System was constructed in 1998. The system has a Design Capacity of 694.8m3/day, actual capacity is currently 397.4m3/day. Water is disinfected (chlorinated) to kill any microorganisms in the water. Currently, the system connects to 146 homes through 7700m of pipe.

Solid Waste Garbage Waste is dropped off at the new Waste and Recycling Transfer Station in bins at the northern part of the community before being transported out of the reserve. Recycling Program Blue bins are collected from each house by Public Works staff and then sorted into three bins: cans and plastics, cardboard, and paper. The bins are then picked up and delivered to the Blind River Municipal Waste facility. Fuel The two large central subdivisions are serviced by propane lines.
