A boil water order for parts of Saint John has been lifted. The order to boil water affecting 18 streets on the East side of Saint John had been issued on Tuesday after century-and-half-old pipe burst. After reviewing water samples the city of Saint John issued a news release Saturday night lifting the boil water order. Residents who may have been away during the order or not used their water are being advised to run their taps to flush out any of the suspect old water still in the pipes.

New Bridge to Restore Petitcodiac River
Environmentalists are hailing a decision to remove a causeway that has partially blocked New Brunswick’s Petitcodiac River for nearly 50 years. The provincial and federal governments have announced a 61.6-million dollar project to remove a 250-metre section of the causeway and replace it with a four-lane bridge. The causeway links Moncton and Riverview. But it also blocks a habitat for fish to spawn and stifles the river’s famous tidal bore — the large wave that rolls in when the tide is on the rise in the nearby Bay of Fundy.
