PSA: Mabou Voluntary Water Conservation Directive

Public Service Announcement: Mabou Transitioning from Mandatory to Voluntary Water Conservation Directive

November 20, 2025

Thanks to the efforts of residents, Mabou is transitioning from a mandatory water conservation directive to a voluntary directive for users of the Mabou municipal water system.

While water conservation is no longer required by mandate, it remains strongly encouraged to help ensure the long-term sustainability of our water supply.

Water Conservation Tips:

• Take short showers and avoid baths.
• Turn off taps when brushing teeth or washing dishes.
• Only run dishwashers and washing machines with full loads.
• Keep a bottle of water in the fridge to avoid running the tap for cold water.
• Limit toilet flushing.
• Avoid non-essential outdoor water use.
• Promptly repair any leaks in and around taps and plumbing.

To learn more about water conservation, visit Water & Wastewater | Municipality of the County of Inverness .

Detect and Report Leaks:

Leaks can waste thousands of litres of water and often go unnoticed. Watch for:

• Persistent puddles or soggy ground
• Running water or unexplained streams
• Sudden drops in water pressure

If you suspect a water leak in your community, please report it immediately by calling 1-866-258-0223, select option #9.

Should water tower levels drop, a mandatory water conservation advisory will be re-issued. The municipality thanks you for your cooperation and understanding.

On November 4, 2025, the Municipality of Inverness County issued a mandatory water conservation directive due as water levels were critically low due to an extended period of dry weather this fall and not enough groundwater replenishment.
