PAGE 5 JASON CODE/PHOTOS The town has been covered in a cold layer of snow and ice for the past month or so, and despite the cold, it’s a beautiful sight to see.

SABRINA BEDFORD February has been a particular cold month. So cold, in fact, that it’s starting to have an effect on certain municipal infrastructure.

The Town of Smiths Falls issued a press release Feb. 20, announcing that some pipes throughout Smiths Falls have been freezing due to the recent prolonged period of cold

weather. It has “resulted in frost penetrating to a sufficient depth whereby some water services have frozen.” A number of water services have frozen both on the Town

and the private side of the water service. According to the release, the Works & Utilities Department is currently working to resolve the issue.
