In Québec the 1999 Do Not Consume advisory due to unacceptable levels of uranium in the water is still in place in Kitigan Zibi; the only change is that an advisory which was issued and lifted twice in June for the Natashquan Public Water System, was also issued and removed in July.
In Ontario, there are 51 First Nations communities under water advisory; this number excludes the many multiple advisories within one community. The oldest BWA dates back to 1995 in Neskantaga. Advisories issued for Pelican Falls High School in Lac Seul, Aundeck-omnikaning Public Water System and Poplar Hill Public Water System were issued and removed in July; the advisory for Pikangikum Public Water System issued in late June was removed in July. The boil water advisory for Big Grassy Public Water System which was removed in June was re-issued in July.

In Alberta, there are currently 11 active water advisories in First Nation communities. New advisories were issued for the Frog Lake and Tsuu T'ina Child & Family Services Semi-Public Water Systems. The advisory for the Beaver First Nation Child Lake Multi-Purpose Building was removed after 5 years; an advisory was issued and removed in July for the Janvier Public Water System; and the advisory for the Loon River Public Water System issued in June was removed in July.
On the whole, what is increasingly noticeable in these reports is that more and more advisories are issued and lifted within a normal period of two to three weeks, which we see as an indication of better water managment in First Nations communities.
