A boil water order has been lifted for another area of Saint John. The order to boil water before use or consumption had been in place for the Upland Road, Reading Crescent and Roxbury Drive area. The order was officially lifted last night but again – residents are being told to run their taps to flush out the pipes.

A Saint John neighborhood spent much of Saturday without water after significant water main break. In a release, Saint John Water says the break occurred sometime around noon at the intersection of Hickey Road and Heather Way. A number of nearby streets and residences were affected by the pipe break. By early yesterday evening crews had isolated the leak and only the three Regency Tower buildings were without service with repairs wrapping up late last night. Residents in the area are being advised to run their taps to flush out the pipes before resuming consumption.
