Several years ago, the Manitoba Municipal Board has approved a water and sewer system in Elma, Manitoba. 

The board altered how residents will pay for the 4.2 million dollar project. Instead of an identical flat fee for ALL residents, the board ordered that the project be paid according to the assessed value of each property.  The cost is expected to range from 23 to 43 thousand dollars per homeowner over 20 years. 

Elma has been under a boil water advisory since 2004 because of a contaminated aquifer.

How much are First Nations paying toward the cost for clean drinking water as us "privileged settlers" pay toward ?
