MONTREAL – Officials in Quebec’s Nunavik region are raising the alarm over water shortages in the Inuit community of Puvirnituq, where a frozen pipe and persistent blizzards have left residents without consistent water deliveries for nearly two months.

The Kativik Regional Government says the village’s five-kilometre-long water pipeline froze during a blizzard in mid-March and has yet to thaw.

As a result, the town of roughly 2,100 people has been forced to bring in water by truck in extreme weather on icy, snowy roads.
