Drainage Issues Continue In Rothesay Neighbourhood

Too much rain in too short a time could spell serious problems for Rothesay--that from Gary Howard of the Oakville Acres citizen's group. The town has funding and plans prepared for a detention pond--but, Howard says, they're running into problems with a neighbouring municipality.

He says the area where the detention pond has to go is in the town of Quispamsis and they need to cooperate and to this point, have decided not to do so.

Howard says he's not sure why Quispamsis objects to having the detention pond built on their land. While temporary measures are in place to deal with overflow, Howard says that won't work long term.
