The town of Fort Frances is looking to see if it can still limit the number of water samples it takes to test for lead despite exceeding provincial standards this past summer.
During June and October, adverse lead levels were found in just three samples of 22 sites tested.
That equates to about 13.6 per cent, but the province wants 10 per cent or less before allowing municipalities to reduce their testing.
Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says because the town has been within acceptable levels in the past, it's hoping to still qualify for reduced testing.
