You will see a lot of construction activity on the Pettingill road this summer.
$250 thousand dollars from Ottawa will help the town of Quispamsis to replace an ageing wastewater force main along with some other improvements.
Quispamsis Mayor Murray Driscoll tells CHSJ News they will replace the forcemain along the Pettingill Road through Longwood Park and the lagoon.
Rothesay Mayor Bill Bishop says this project will allow his town to start work on a detention pond which can’t proceed until Quispamsis moves a lift station.
He says this announcement means Quispamsis can go ahead with that and when they are finished the town of Rothesay can go ahead and built a detention pond to hold some of the water back at Oakville Acres.
Tenders will be going out soon for the start that will start this summer and likely be completed by the end of the year.
24 jobs will be created during construction.
