A difference of opinion is bubbling beneath the surface over water — last week — Rothesay mayor Bill Bishop indicated water supplied by the city for K-Park residents isn’t potable and doesn’t meeting national standards. But mayor Ivan Court begs to differ.
Court says the city water meets existing national drinking water standards — meantime — Rothesay is beginning work on an expansion of the town’s water system to K-Park thanks to help from federal-provincial funding amounting to just over five million dollars. The city has also received 16-million from the two upper levels of government to begin a multi-year upgrade to its drinking water system.
