Lead water filters, jugs, returned by some Thunder Bay, Ont., homeowners

A plan to distribute free water jugs and filters to properties with lead pipes or connections has hit a blockage. Some of the property owners are returning the jugs and filters to stores for a refund. Once the jug and filter is distributed, it's up to the water consumer to decide if they want to use it, said Michelle Warywoda, the director of Thunder Bay's environment division.
