Water System Reviewed


The town of Fort Frances is getting good marks for its water system.

Councillor Rick Wiedenhoeft says it comes from an inspection of the plant by the Ministry of Environment back in December.

"The town received an inspection rating of 98.59 per cent," says Wiedenhoeft. "The only reason we didn't receive a rating of 100 per cent is that we failed to submit include a minor concluding letter regarding our lead testing."

While not part of the study, the Ministry did recommend the town move to install water metres throughout the community.
