RM of Dauphin Still Undecided on Phase Two Water Pipeline Location
The RM of Dauphin is still looking for responses on where they should head with phase two of their water pipeline project, and they`re hoping to avoid a big mailout.
Reeve Dennis Forbes says you can fill out surveys electronically, or you can go to the RM office.
"Those forms are available on our website, it's quite easy to do in that regard, or come to the office. It would prevent us from having to go to the expense of mailing out these request forms."
Forbes says wherever they get the biggest response from, that`s where the water line will go.

Potential Lead in Water Scam in Brandon and Winnipeg
A pair of men may be going door-to-door attempting to scam Manitoba residents by claiming they have lead in their water.
The two men have reportedly been active in Brandon and Winnipeg.
One Brandon resident reported to police that the men came to his house and offered to test his water for lead and then install a water filtration system.
Police say they dropped tablets in a sample of the man's water, which caused the water to turn black, which they then said indicated the presence of lead.
The resident didn't buy the water system and reported the incident to the engineering department and police.
Police say the men were wearing golf shirts with a logo that read "Secure Homes'' and drove a Chevrolet Impala with Alberta licence plates.
