About the Utilities Department

The Gun Lake Tribal Utilities Department is committed to providing safe, reliable, and sustainable utility services that protect public health, preserve our natural resources, and support the well-being of our community. We are dedicated to the responsible management of our water, wastewater, stormwater, and future utility systems while honoring our role as stewards of the land and water. Through innovation, accountability, and respect for Tribal values, we strive to build resilient infrastructure that serves our community today and protects the resources of the next seven generations.

Water Treatment Plant

The Gun Lake Tribal Utilities water system delivers safe, reliable drinking water to the community through five groundwater wells, a modern treatment plant, and a one-million-gallon water tower. Water is treated through filtration and disinfection before being stored in the tower, which helps maintain pressure and provides emergency reserves. The system is monitored around the clock to ensure high-quality water reaches homes, tribal facilities, and businesses throughout the service area.

Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Gun Lake Tribal Utilities wastewater system safely collects and treats wastewater from homes, tribal facilities, and businesses throughout the service area. At the wastewater treatment plant, wastewater passes through a series of treatment processes that remove solids and impurities. The water is then filtered and disinfected before being safely discharged in accordance with environmental regulations. The system is monitored 24 hours a day to protect public health and preserve local water resources for future generations.
