News Release: North Bay, ON – The City’s Water Review Committee has established a series of recommendations regarding issues surrounding the new metered water system in North Bay. The committee is inviting residents to attend a public meeting on Monday, September 28 at 5:30 PM in the Council Chambers to review and comment on the recommendations.
There are ten recommendations, developed with the objective of implementing a fair and equitable system while ensuring that those who practice conservation can control their water bill and help the environment.
