The agency said Tuesday on its Facebook page that it’s received some information from residents who say individuals are claiming to be city of Milton staff members and/or representatives of Greenlife Water, a Canadian-based company that provides water filtration systems for home use.
“These individuals are reported to be quite aggressive in their techniques (knocking on doors until someone answers; not taking ‘no’ for an answer) and also to be telling homeowners that ‘the city wants to check their water’,” the agency said.
