Public Service Announcement: Water Service Disruption and Conservation Advisory 

A major water leak has been reported on Forest St., Inverness, resulting in a loss of water service for many residents and businesses in the surrounding area.

Repair crews are on site and working diligently to assess and fix the issue as quickly and safely as possible.

As a result, a Water Conservation Advisory has been issued for all users of the Inverness water system. This advisory will remain in effect until the water tower levels have stabilized.

Additionally, the Strathlorne Municipal Recycling Facility is temporarily closed.

Water conservation is a shared responsibility — every drop counts. Please do your part to help preserve our limited water supply during this time.

Tips for Conserving Water:

• Take short showers and avoid baths.
• Use biodegradable plates, cups, and utensils to reduce dishwashing.
• Delay laundry when possible.
• Keep a bottle of water in the fridge to avoid running the tap for cold water.
• Limit toilet flushing.
• Use bottled water for drinking and brushing teeth.

If you suspect a water leak, please call the emergency line at 902-258-5048.

The municipality apologizes for the inconvenience and appreciates your cooperation and understanding. Please share this message with friends, family, and neighbors who may not receive this notice.
