PSA: Port Hastings Water System Impacts on Monday, December 8

The Municipality of Inverness County would like to advise that the Town of Port Hawkesbury will be completing a final water system connection (“tie-in”) on Monday, December 8, 2025, as part of a construction project. (A tie-in is simply the last step where new pipes or equipment are connected to the existing water system.)

During the Town of Port Hawkesbury’s work on December 8, the Port Hastings water system will be isolated from the Town of Port Hawkesbury’s system. During that time, all customers on the Port Hastings water system will be supplied by the Port Hastings water storage tank.

Customers of the Port Hastings municipal water system will not be impacted while this work is underway, however during the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 9,  they may experience temporary water discolouration or reduced water pressure while the system is flushed. In the event of discolouration, run cold water until it is clear. If possible, avoid laundry or heavy water use during the shutoff on December 8.

The municipality thanks residents for their patience while this important work is completed.
