'We're all tired': Iqaluit residents unable to drink tap water for nearly 2 months

It's been almost two months since Iqaluit's tap water was declared undrinkable.

Now, with thick layers of ice and snow covering the flowing water below, it has become one of the Nunavut capital's main water sources for drinking and cooking.

The other comes in thousands of plastic water bottles that arrive by plane.

It's been almost two months since Iqaluit's tap water was declared undrinkable. On Oct. 12, the city declared a state of emergency when fuel was found in the water supply. Residents had complained the water coming out of their taps smelled like fuel.

Since then, the city has dug up an old underground fuel tank from 1962, which was buried next to the water treatment plant and thought to be the source of the contamination.
