The Province will be hearing from the city on stopping people from boating on waterways which are used to supply drinking water.

The head of Municipal Operations, Paul Groody says the city has wanted something done about this for over a decade.

The issue has come to the forefront again after a recent incident in which a truck left Otter Lake Road and plunged into a brook which flows into the Loch Lomand watershed that supplies drinking water out east.
 
Groody points out boating is allowed on four watersheds which are used for drinking water and two of them are used by Saint Johnners at Loch Lomand and Musquash.
