Residents in parts of west Saint John may notice a difference in the water coming out of their taps.
They are now getting water from the Loch Lomond treatment facility on the east side instead of the new South Bay Wellfield.
The city was forced to make the change after discovering lower-than-expected water levels in the wellfield.
City officials announced Thursday the new interim water pumping station is operational and the transition went ahead as scheduled.
The change affects homes and businesses of the Lower West Side, Milford, Randolph, Fundy Heights, Duck Cove, Sand Cove, and parts of Lancaster are affected by the change.
“Notices were mailed last week to all Saint John Water customers who are property owners in the neighbourhoods that have transitioned to the new drinking water source,” the city wrote in a news release.
