Their wells\u2026 ran dry\u2026 and it became a really big issue,\u201d said Mitton. \u201cEveryone needs water to live. It&#8217;s a public health emergency if someone doesn&#8217;t have water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><sub>Listen to the story below:<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Megan-Mitton-Wells-Ran-Dry.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calls rising through November<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitton said calls to her office started early in November, though many residents may have run out earlier and tried to manage on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;ve been hearing some people in Dorchester ran out of water, some people in Strait Shores have run out of water,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ongoing issues in Memramcook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitton noted that Memramcook experienced similar problems in 2020 and into 2021 &#8211; where she previously served as MLA before boundary changes under the Higgs Government &#8211; when many shallow wells failed during a prolonged dry period. According to Mitton, \u201cmaybe even 200 wells\u201d had run dry there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said new reports of well failures in 2024 and 2025 show the problem is ongoing, and the region is becoming more vulnerable as drought conditions intensify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limited provincial tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere&#8217;s a big gap in the data. We don&#8217;t really know how many wells have run dry,\u201d Mitton said. \u201cBut we know it&#8217;s a big problem and becoming more common.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provincial water strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitton said New Brunswick has had a 2018-2028 water strategy that includes commitments to improve private well monitoring and drought preparedness, but she believes progress has been slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs of 2024, they had just started that,\u201d she said. \u201cThere is a role for the provincial government to play \u2026 they need to step up and take this very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CHMA requested comment from the Department of Environment and Local Government and did not receive a response by publication time.

One of the largest is the natural gas plant proposed by PROENERGY Canada in the Midgic and Centre Village area, near the NB\u2013NS border &#8211; a development that has drawn significant public attention and opposition over potential water use, emissions, and environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project, led by PROENERGY Canada, aims to build a 500\u2011megawatt gas\u2011fired generating station, and would require substantial volumes of water for cooling and operations. Critics, including local residents, climate groups, and several municipal councillors, have questioned how an already-stressed water table could support such a facility during back\u2011to\u2011back drought years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitton linked the dry\u2011well reports to these concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt can exacerbate the problem with these industrial uses of water,\u201d she said, noting that fracked\u2011gas operations and data\u2011centre cooling raise similar risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long\u2011term adaptation needed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to be really planning for further down the road,\u201d Mitton said. \u201cThis is part of adapting to climate change \u2026 we need provincial leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing reports of dry wells in region are raising concerns about how New Brunswick tracks &#8211; and responds to &#8211; worsening drought conditions.
