Rothesay Prepares to Expand Water Service

The town of Rothesay is preparing to expand its municipal water service to the K-Park neighbourhood. Staff and engineers are uncapping a well drilled in 1991 to get it ready for the waterline expansion. Director of Municipal Operations, Scott Hatcher, says a new well drilled two weeks ago has turned up empty, but the reserve well from the 90's has plenty of water.

Mayor Bill Bishop says the town doesn't need the extra water right now, but they want to ensure there is a steady supply as water line expansions move forward. Design plans have already begun for the water line extension along Rothesay Road. The town's water system improvements are pegged for completion by next August.
