On August 31, 2000 a boil water advisory was issued for the Ile-des-Chênes community by Manitoba Health after water testing found the water supply well to be contaminated. The next year a C$6 million program funded through the Canada-Manitoba Infrastructure Program paid for the replacement of the supply pipes, distribution pipes, water treatment plant was undertaken and the project completed in 2002.[2]
