The city and the town of Rothesay will not be going to court over water.
The two sides have reached an agreement to end their dispute over a 1996 agreement under which the city provided water to Kennebecasis Park and Hastings Cove but there were complaints from the people who live there about the water quality and boil water orders.
In February of 2011, Rothesay disconnected from the city’s water system and began supplying water from its own system which had been extended.
Under this agreement to avert a lawsuit, Rothesay will make a one time payment to the city of 200 thousand dollars and accepts full responsibility for any environmental damage caused by the discharge of city water as long as that’s done properly.
