Infiltration InFlow Study Revealed


The town of Fort Frances is getting a sense of why it's treating more water than it produces and the costs to correct the problem.

A draft report of a two-year study of infiltration inflows heads to councillors at their meeting tonight.

It found the problem to be wide spread, influenced by both groundwater and surface runoff.

Consultants suggest the first two phases of repairs to replace almost 6 kilometres of sanitary sewer pipe over a five year period will cost an estimated $32-million.
