Whycocomagh Water System Boil Water Advisory

August 29, 2025

Public Service Announcement: Boil Water Advisory – Whycocomagh Water System

The Municipality of Inverness County is issuing a Boil Water Advisory for all users of the Whycocomagh water system, following a water leak reported earlier today, August 29, on Milford Rd., Whycocomagh. This boil water advisory is expected to remain in place until at least Sunday, August 31, at 10 a.m.

At this time, all Whycocomagh water 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.

Please note, the water leak reported earlier today, August 29, on Milford Rd., Whycocomagh has been repaired. Water services previously disrupted for residents of Milford Rd. and Bayview Dr. will return this evening.

Although the water system repair work is now complete on Milford Rd., the site requires further work to restore it to its original condition. Municipal staff will return Tuesday, Sept. 2 to finish this work.  Until then, residents are asked to use caution when driving in the area.

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. Updates will be shared when further information is available.
