(TSXV: WWT) ("Water Ways" or the "Company") announces that in accordance with OSC Instrument 51-502 - Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic (resulting in disruptions to the Company’s access to facilities, support staff and professional advisors), it intends to postpone the filing of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certifications for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (collectively, the "Quarterly Filings"), which are required to be filed by May 30, 2020, under Sections 4.4 and 5.1(2) of National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations.
