About 34 homes in Quispamsis will soon have access to the town’s water tower. Town council has given approval to the third phase of water system improvements. Director of Engineering, Gary Losier, says the expansion to Autumn Avenue and Summer Court is necessary for the town’s future sustainability.
Losier says residents will have to pay a fixed user fee of about 200 dollars annually for access to the water line whether they hook into it or not by 2011. There will be a usage charge on top of that for those who choose to go off their wells. Dillon Consulting LTD will compile information needed to put the one kilometer, 43 thousand dollar, waterline expansion job to tender.
