Court Advises Next Council On Water

Mayor Ivan Court says safe drinking water is the number priority of Saint Johners adding the two components to achieve this objective are securing funding and protecting the water supply.

He adds the city depends on water for residential, commercial and other needs along with recreational activities.

In a release, Court tells CHSJ News he believes the new council must enact by-laws and zoning regulations to protect our water needs against any impact fracking may have within or outside the boundaries of  the City of Saint john.

He adds the next council will also have to seek the support of the province to protect those areas outside of the city that act as a feeder to our water supply.
