There is a community outside Toronto where most people can’t drink their tap water. Patience is running out. (newsinteractives.cbc.ca)

Ellie’s home, like most in Six Nations, isn’t connected to municipal water. On the sprawling reserve in Southwestern Ontario, roughly 70 per cent of households, or about 8,500 people, are without piped, reliable drinking water.

The Six Nations reserve is a 1 hour 20 minute drive West from Niagara

... there's plenty of other construction happening on reserves, both private and commercial.

Please show your proof of this.

Stupid take, there’s plenty of other construction happening on reserves, both private and commercial. You really think the federal government is specifically disallowing wells and cisterns while allowing other forms of construction?

You are free to source any information you have on this "plenty of construction" happening on reserve land that the Federal Government does not have a say in.

I didn't say the federal government doesn't have a say in construction, I said that I highly doubt they are somehow only disallowing water projects
