Have you incurred costs related to the change
in the West Saint John water source?
If so, you might be entitled to compensation as part of a new class action.
In 2017, Saint John engaged in a program to renovate and replace the source and means of supply of drinking water to the west side of the city. Pursuant to this program, the city changed the source of drinking water supplied to west Saint John from the Spruce Lake Reservoir to a new well source which had a distinct chemistry that was known to the city. This change in water supply and/or water pressure exposed water pipes, appliances, and equipment to that distinct chemistry, causing widespread failure.
In response to public demand, lawyers Rodney J. Gillis, Q.C. from the Saint John firm Gilbert McGloan Gillis and Celeste Poltak from Koskie Minsky have filed a class action on behalf of affected Saint John residents seeking financial compensation from those responsible.
The team at GMG and KMLAW is committed to helping you get the financial relief that you deserve.
