Yukoners Rely On Blue Jugs For Water
|
3.9
A feature describes Yukoners who rely on blue 20‑litre water jugs to sustain life in dry cabins, including the author and partner using 120 litres for a week, against a territorial population of 47,170. It traces the practice’s history from Indigenous watercraft to post‑war squatter settlements, and links rising rents and 26% population growth (2015–2025) to persistent off‑grid water access challenges.
