A statement from the Department of Social Development on Friday night’s carbon monoxide leak at Stephen Park says the impacted family were back home by Sunday night and a boiler involved has been replaced and certified.
A boiler that malfunctioned in a six unit public housing complex has been seized by government officials and the city fire department as they look into the cause of the leak.
The other boilers in the Courtney Centre Project are due to be re-inspected this week.
NB Housing units that have natural gas heating systems have carbon monoxide alarms and all boilers are inspected annually.
In an emergency, the natural gas company turns off the gas immediately and the company that services the boiler replaces it. When the natural gas company returns to certify it, the gas is turned back on.
The Department of Social Development offering thanks to everyone who helped out Friday night including emergency responders, health-care professionals, the Red Cross and the City of Saint John.
