Work To Stop Oakville Acres Flooding Has Begun

It's been months in the making, but work to stop the flooding issue at Oakville Acres is underway.

Quispamsis Mayor Murray Driscoll says negotiations between Quispamsis and Rothesay involved maximum water levels in the detention pond, which was resolved when Rothesay agreed to lower levels to a maximum of 26.5 metres.

Work on the force main has started, they're in the process of getting a new lift station installed and getting rid of the wastewater management station. Driscoll says the force main and the new lift station will cost well over a million dollars each. The old lift station is over 38 years old.

Driscoll says the project could be done by next Spring.
