SAINT JOHN, N.B.—As floodwaters continue to rise in southern New Brunswick, so too do concerns for health and safety. Kevin Clifford, the director of Emergency Management for Saint John, also cautioned people about being in contact with the floodwaters. The provincial EMO issued warnings for people who have private well water supplies affected by flooding, saying they should not be used until they have been disinfected and tested. In the town of Rothesay, officials cautioned residents that the sanitary and storm sewer systems are full because of the flooding. Stephen Brittian was helping to co-ordinate efforts to get sandbags to homes in an area of Rothesay on Sunday.
