Inverness Water System Boil Advisory Order

August 2, 2025

Public Service Announcement: Boil Water Advisory – Inverness Water System

The Municipality of Inverness County is issuing a Boil Water Advisory for all users of the Inverness water system, following a water leak reported earlier today, August 2, on Forest Street, Inverness.

Although repairs are underway, this advisory is being issued in advance of water restoration to inform residents about the safety measures required once water service is restored. The advisory is a precautionary measure due to a loss of pressure in the waterline supplying Inverness. It will remain in effect until water service is fully restored, and water quality testing confirms it is safe for consumption.

Once water is restored, all Inverness water system users are advised to:

  • Bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least one to two minutes before use.
  • Allow water to cool before using it for:
    • Drinking
    • Making ice
    • Brushing teeth
    • Washing dishes
    • Preparing food and beverages

Please share this advisory widely with neighbors, friends, and visitors to ensure everyone stays informed.

The Municipality of Inverness County apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks residents for their patience and cooperation as we work to restore safe and reliable water service.
