The public school board has been fined $12,000 for drinking water issues at the schools in Upsala and Savant Lake.
The Ministry of the Environment says the school board failed to ensure water treatment equipment was used when water was being supplied to the school in Upsala.
The board also was cited for failing to ensure the drinking water system was operated by trained, certified personnel.
In Savant Lake the MOE says the school board failed to immediately report an adverse water test.
The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board has been given 30 days to pay the fines, which includes a three thousand dollar victim surcharge fee.
