Flooding Issue in Oakville Acres

A small victory for residents of Oakville Acres plagued with flooding problems over the past couple of years.

They made a presentation to Rothesay Council last night, pleading for help and asking to get a look at an engineer's report with recommendations to finding a solution.

The report will be posted to the town web-site and Grace Murphy tells CHSJ News, her home has flooded three times in just over a year and even if she wanted to move, who would buy her property.

Murphy adds she is desperately hoping town officials will live up to their word and fix the problem.

Total cost of the project is $3.5 million which the town hopes to get some help from Ottawa and or Fredericton but so far, no cash on either end.
