Irving Oil statement on Woodstock, NB, retail site
To our community, we wish to provide an update on a product release at our Murray’s Truck Stop location near Woodstock, NB, which was first identified in December 2024. We take this matter very seriously and would like to share with you what we’ve been doing to address it and its impacts.
When this issue was identified, immediate steps were taken to stop the release from continuing and since that time, all available resources have been dedicated to investigating the incident and to remediating the impacted property.
On-site filtration systems ensured public safety was not compromised at any time as a result of this incident. Potable well water testing – both regulated and voluntary – has been ongoing in the surrounding area with results consistently falling within safe parameters. A separate supply of potable water from the Town of Woodstock is being provided to Murray’s Truck Stop and we want to assure all who visit our site that all requirements have been met to ensure their experience at Murray’s is safe.
The safety of our customers and our neighbours is our highest priority. The systems and processes in place to protect against and prevent this unfortunate incident did not operate as intended. We have undertaken a thorough and extensive review of this matter to prevent further occurrences.
Thank you to those who have worked collaboratively with our company as we respond to this incident in accordance with the applicable regulatory authorities. We appreciate the work of all involved. Thank you to our valued customers, community members and the Town of Woodstock.
