A letter is being written to Quispamsis from Rothesay council to fix their lift station immediately.
Rothesay Council says whenever it rains the Quispam lift station pours raw sewage into brooks at the back of people’s properties at Oakville Acres — an area where a lot of children play.
Rothesay Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ news Quispamsis does have money in their budget to redesign the lift station, but they plan on implementing it 5-10 years from now. Bishop says the health hazard is to great and it needs to be fixed now.
Bishop adds along with the letter they’ll be sending photos so there’s no doubt what the problem is.
