The town of Rothesay is not completely helpless when it comes to helping out its residents who are worried about blasting on city owned land next to the Renforth Bog.
Rothesay Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ News they will investigate whether anything can be done legally if an activity being performed in a neighbouring jurisdiction is adversely affecting people who live in the town.
Bishop says the town will also be contacting the city which issued the permit to excavate large amounts of rock and the Environment Department about whether there are any violations.
The Rothesay residents are worried about their wells going dry or being contamination and the foundations of their homes. The wells are supplied with water from the Renforth Bog.
