Water restrictions will be put in place in Fort Frances and Couchiching First Nation next month.
Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says the measures are necessary because of a pending inspection of the water tower.
"On July 8, NorWick Company will be inside, looking at the inside of the tank," says Brown. "This is a term of condition from the contract we signed with them in 2008 when they painted the interior and exterior. We have to inspect it to ensure all of the paint coated properly."
The restrictions go in effect June 28 and are to last for about three weeks with non-essential water limited to homes on an odd-even day basis.
