When the waters of the St. John River hit four metres above sea level in Gagetown they're considered to be at flood level. And that's where they're expected to stay until at least Friday, with slight decreases expected on Saturday and Sunday, and level of 3.9 metres projected by Tuesday. "Everyone is waiting with bated breath," said Mike Blaney, mayor of the village about 60 kilometres southeast of Fredericton. Gagetown Mayor Mike Blaney says he's cautiously optimistic there won't be a flood. At the province's daily coronavirus briefing Thursday, Premier Blaine Higgs called the outlook on flooding this spring "good news."
