UPDATE 8:25 p.m.: 

Earlier this evening, while crews were repairing a water main break near the intersection of Central Ave. and Park St. in Inverness, a second water main break occurred near Park St. and the Shean Trail Crossing.

Both breaks involve existing water infrastructure, which is being replaced as part of the ongoing Central Avenue Rebuild project. The water mains that broke are part of the older system and are not newly installed infrastructure.

The first water main break has been repaired. Repair work on the second water main is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning, Saturday, October 17.

Until the second repair is completed, residents in the following areas may continue to experience temporarily reduced water pressure:

• Central Ave. civic addresses 15832 to 15812
• Beach Rd. #1
• Park St.

Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital and Inverary Manor are not impacted at this time.

The Municipality apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and thanks residents for their patience and understanding while crews complete the necessary repairs.
