The Town of St Pierre had the province patch up a leaky problem on Monday.

Mayor Raymond Maynard says erosion was the reason for a leak in the Town’s dike.

“The culvert had a problem and was leaking through the stop-plate,” says Maynard, “but apparently the dike had eroded underneath and the water was leaking through it.”

A quick visit by provincial employees verified the need for repairs.

Maynard says the dike is provincially owned and therefore he had “no clue” what the project cost.

“It was quite painless,” offered the Mayor.
