Clean Drinking Water For Whole City By 2015

The big ticket item for Saint John Water this year and beyond is the construction of the Drinking Water Treatment Facility.

The city holding an open house to let people know on how it's progressing.

The project is currently undergoing an environmental impact assessment and will be built adjacent to the Hickey Road/Latimore Lake Road intersection and the Little River Reservoir, more commonly known as "the Rez."

Municipal engineer Dean Price tells CHSJ News the facility will completely revitalize the water in the city.

He says if everything goes according to schedule, construction will begin in 2014 with a completion date of 2015 and clean drinking water for the entire city.
