City shut down plant Wednesday to investigate traces of fuel in water tanksBy David LocheadCity of Iqaluit officials won’t venture any guesses as to when the water treatment plant will be back online. The city is currently pumping water from the Lake Geraldine reservoir through a bypass pipe that avoids contact with the tanks at the treatment plant. City spokesperson Stephanie Clark similarly said she couldn’t offer a timeline for when the water treatment plant will be working again. While water pumped from Lake Geraldine is bypassing the plant, it’s still being disinfected and chlorinated. The water pumped from Lake Geraldine is also being tested for hydrocarbons, said Clark, who is the city’s recreation director.
