N.B. community under boil order for two months seeks new drinking water source

A community in Upper Madawaska is taking steps to fix an unsustainable drinking water supply. The well that the former village of Saint–Hilaire has relied on for decades was damaged in the 2008 flood. The village is now part of the amalgamated community of Haut–Madawaska. The problem has now reached a breaking point and people who live there have been under a boil order since Feb. 2.
