“Following today’s news conference by CUPE 830, the City of Charlottetown wishes to provide some clarification and to reaffirm its commitment to reaching an agreement that is fair to our water and sewer employees, and one that is responsible to taxpayers.
Our focus is on ensuring that residents continue to receive the essential services they rely on. Water and sewer services are continuing without interruption. There has been no impact on water quality or supply, and the City remains committed to maintaining these essential services until a negotiated agreement is reached with the union.
To support service delivery during the strike, the City has activated contingency plans that include a combination of management staff and qualified contractors where appropriate. These plans ensure that core operations continue and that water and wastewater services remain safe and at acceptable standards.
The City remains committed to working constructively toward a solution.
The City will continue to keep residents informed as this process moves forward.”
Brad MacConnell, Chief Administrative Officer
City of Charlottetown
