The painting of the Fort Frances water treatment plant has led to some other repairs needed to the building's exterior.
Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says a problem with the brick mortar was discovered when crews pressure washed the building.
"What we're hearing from the sub-contractor is that the mortar froze when it was initially installed," says Brown. "so when they high pressure washed the mortar was just popping out."
Brown says they're now looking at the cost of repairs.
