—————————————————————–

The boil water advisory and water conservation directive issued for all users of the Inverness water system is no longer in effect as of 1:30 p.m., Thursday, September 10.
——————————————————————————-
A mandatory water conservation directive was issued for users of the Judique water system effective September 7, 2026.
The directive is necessary because heavy rainfall over the weekend has significantly increased turbidity (mud) in the water source (Judique dam). The volume of turbid water is currently too high for the Public Works team to properly treat before it enters the water storage tank. For more information, check out the news release here: Water Conservation Directive Issued for Judique Water System | Municipality of the County of Inverness
