Fog Blog Saint John Log: West Side Water Switched To East Supply:

IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS , MOST OF WEST SIDE, INCLUDING.....MILFORD, GREENHEAD, MANAWAGONISH RD . FUNDY HEIGHTS AND LOWER WEST WILL SWITCH OVER TO EAST SIDE TREATMENT PLANT WATER....HOPEFULLY FOR THE FINAL TIME! WEST SAINT JOHN HAS HAD HARD WATER FROM A WELL SOURCE IN SOUTH BAY AFTER SWITCHING FROM SPRUCE LAKE. THE SWITCH WILL BRING WEST SAINT JOHNERS BACK TO SOFT WATER. WHEN THE SWITCH WAS MADE TO THE WELL SYSTEM.......IT WAS HARD WATER AND WREAKED HAVOC WITH WEST SIDERS' COPPER PIPES. RIGHT NOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AWAITING A COURT DATE. MANY BOUGHT OR RENTED A WATER SOFTENER SYSTEM.....THIS WON'T BE NEEDED WITH THE SWITCH IN 2 WEEKS. THE FULL AFFECT OF THE EAST WATER IN THE SYSTEM AND TO OUR TAPS WON'T BE FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS OR SO AFTER THAT.
