Deputy Mayor Shelley Rinehart explains the Rothesay's sudden 2011 decision to switch K-Park and Hastings Cove from the city water system to that of the town was a breach of contract.
She tells CHSJ News problems with the dead-end infrastructure and water quality have arisen ever since switch. The large pipe to K-Park--built to service a larger number of residents--was filling with stagnant water and now needs to be drained off regularly, wasting untold liters of water.
Rinehart says Saint John is asking to extend the one-year statute of limitations to file legal action, until counsellors from both municipalities can meet and work out a solution.She says while neither municipality wants to go to court a viable solution must nevertheless be reached.
