The City of Saint John sending a warning to west side residents about a door to door scam.
Salespeople are calling or going to homes saying they represent the City or Saint John water and making sketchy statements about water quality in order to gain access to homes and to pressure people into buying or renting equipment.
City cautions west side residents to be prudent with phone and door-to-door solicitors https://t.co/pVdPHkVjrc

The City is urging everyone to be aware that city staff including Saint John Water do not make house visits, water from the South Bay wellfield is safe to drink and buying or installing a water softener is a personal choice.
The Financial and Consumer Services Commission has been made aware of this and you are encouraged to share the details of this scam online and with your neighbours.
To reach the FCNB, call 1 866-933-2222.
