description This article examines the definition of success in First Nations drinking water service as voiced by the First Nations technical community of practice. The research explores success stories to identify success themes and factors to formulate a workable definition for policy‐makers. Researchers interviewed sixteen technical practitioners in Ontario using a semi‐structured approach. Data analysis revealed a definition of success that extends beyond the technical boundary to include professional growth, employment, local action and a facilitating policy environment. This comprehensive definition provides a basis for policy and program considerations to increase First Nations buy‐in and foster a constructive environment for drinking water improvements. Sommaire Le présent article examine la définition de succès dans la prestation de services d'eau potable aux Premières Nations telle qu'elle est exprimée par le milieu technique des Premières Nations. L'étude examine les exemples de réussite afin de cerner les thèmes et les facteurs de succès pour formuler une définition exploitable pour les élaborateurs de politiques. Les chercheurs ont interviewé seize spécialistes techniques en Ontario par le biais d'une approche semi‐structurée. L'analyse des données a révélé une définition du succès qui va au‐delà de la frontière technique pour inclure la croissance professionnelle, l'emploi, l'action locale et un environnement politique propice. Cette définition compréhensive fournit une base pour recommander des considérations de principes et de politiques afin d'accroître le soutien des Premières Nations et d'encourager un environnement constructif pour apporter des améliorations en matière d'eau potable.
