Reminder: Inverness Boil Water Advisory, Water Pick-Up Details

The Municipality of Inverness County reminds residents of the community of Inverness that the Boil Water Advisory remains in place following the leaks on Oct. 27 and 28, 2026.

The boil water advisory is a precautionary measure due to a loss of pressure in the waterlines. It will remain in effect until service is restored and water quality testing confirms it is safe for consumption.

For more information about boil water advisories, visit invernesscounty.ca/services/public-works/boil-water-advisories.

To support water system users, the Municipality is offering a water pick-up today, Oct. 29.

  • Water Pick-Up Details:
  • Date: Thursday, Oct. 29
  • Time: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
  • Location: Inverness Fire Hall (15797 Central Ave., Inverness)

Impacted residents may collect one four-litre jug of drinking water per person, to a maximum of three jugs per household.
