Saint John could be looking downward for a solution to its water woes…Mayor Mel Norton tells CHSJ News the city is considering ground water as a clean alternative to water from sources like lakes and reservoirs.
Norton says the groundwater option could translate into millions of dollars saved in the construction of a water treatment plant, which would be excellent news for the taxpayers.
Ground water is naturally filtered and requires less treatment–but once it’s used up, takes thousands of years to build up again. Norton says there could still be enough there to fill the area’s needs.
