Scheduled Water Service Disruption | Port Hood | June 17
As part of the ongoing lift station replacement in Port Hood, contractors will replace a fire hydrant located near civic address 342 Main Street on Wednesday, June 17.
In order to complete the work, crews will shut off water service to an isolated section of Main Street between the fire hydrant and Court Street. Residents in that area will temporarily lose water beginning at approximately 9:00 a.m.
Service is expected to be restored by 5:00 p.m. Updates will be posted on invernesscounty.ca and on the municipal Facebook page as they are available.
To prepare for the disruption, residents are advised to fill containers with drinking water and to fill your bathtub to ensure there is water available for flushing toiles in advance.
The Municipality apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciates residents’ patience as this project is underway.
