The city says they have no contractors working for them that are checking residential water quality.

There have been reports of people going door to door saying they are checking addresses or houses for hard water.

They want to enter peoples homes to look at the water meter and shut off the taps.

The city says if you’re not sure ask the person for city of North Bay identification and the person would be driving a city vehicle if this was legit so ask them where their vehicle is.
