==== Water and sewage treatment ====
The City of Yellowknife provides pressurized [[Drinking water|potable water]] throughout the majority of the city, and has a network of gravity-fed sewage lines; trucked water and sewage is provided in areas not serviced by piped infrastructure. [[Sewage]], with the aid of lift stations, is pumped to a series of lakes, referred to as Fiddler's Lake Lagoon, where it is held and allowed to naturally decompose. Water is obtained from the Yellowknife River and is disinfected with [[chlorine]] and liquid [[Water fluoridation|fluoride]] is added, but is not otherwise filtered or treated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pws.gov.nt.ca/water/Communtiy_Desc/Yellowknife.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090404140419/http://www.pws.gov.nt.ca/water/Communtiy_Desc/Yellowknife.htm |archive-date=4 April 2009|title=Yellowknife Water Supply|publisher=Public Works & Services, GNWT|access-date=23 January 2008|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
