Pumping tests in the Saint-Basile Sector: noise is expected

Jan 16, 2023

REVISED ON JANUARY 18 2023

The City of Edmundston's Public Works Department advises citizens living near Jos-Soucy Street in the Saint-Basile sector that a 24-hour pumping test will be conducted on Wednesday, Jan. 18, on the new groundwater extraction well drilled in December 2022.

During this test, water from the well will be pumped into Mastic Creek to measure its quality and quantity. This work will be supervised by the engineering firm Roy Consultants.

It should be noted that no interruption of water supply or drop in pressure is expected in the water system. However, since this is a 24-hour test, there may be some noise in the immediate environment.

If you have any questions regarding the project, you can contact the City of Edmundston's Infrastructure Coordinator, Louis Ruest, by email at louis.ruest@edmundston.ca or by phone 506.739.2103.

The City of Edmundston apologizes for the inconvenience and thanks you for your cooperation during this important infrastructure improvement project.
