A group of Gondola Point Road residents asking Quispamsis council to to do something about the wastewater pumping stations on their street which they say have overloaded several times in the past few years and caused property damage.
John Fullerton first moved there in 2008 and he tells CHSJ News just two weeks later a valve failed and then the same thing happened back in March of this year. He says he can’t get flood insurance anymore on his policy because they’ve declared the area high risk.
Mary Schryer also lives in the area and in a letter written to council, says their quality of life and the environment are being compromised whenever the system goes down. She adds that the odour at times in certain areas around the lift station on the bottom of Prince Road can be overbearing.
Council voting unanimously to ask utility staff to prepare a report of the stations on the Gondola Point Road and aim to deliver the report by June.
