Tantramar River

This N.B. town has had chronic flooding problems. A solution is finally getting closer

This N.B. town has had chronic flooding problems. A solution is finally getting closer

A years-long effort to address chronic flooding in Tantramar is a step closer to completion. The southeastern New Brunswick town, which includes Sackville, started work on a multi-phase flood mitigation project in 2017. It involves upgraded drainage systems, a series of holding ponds and an upgraded aboiteau that discharges the water into the tidal Tantramar River. The aboiteau allows water to go out, but not flow back in.
