Municipal Request — Check Your Water Shut Off (Curbstop)

The Municipality of Inverness County Public Works Department has been actively repairing water shut off (curbstop) valves damaged over the winter months.

Water shut off valves play a key role in the municipal water system. They control the water supply from the municipal water system to individual buildings and allow water to be turned on or off during emergencies or maintenance.

Every property connected to municipal water has a water shut off valve, typically located near the property line or roadway.

When damaged, these valves can cause flooding or prevent the water supply from being shut off in an emergency.

The Municipality is asking all residents and businesses connected to municipal water to inspect the water shut off valve on their property for any visible damage.

If you notice any issues, please report them to the Public Works Department:

• Email is preferred to publicworks@invernesscounty.ca . Please include a photo if possible.
• If email not an option, please call 1-866-258-0223, select option 4

Timely reporting and repairs help ensure reliable water service across the community.

Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a safe and dependable water system.
