The Municipality of Inverness County issued a mandatory water conservation directive for all Mabou residents connected to the municipal system.
The municipality stated there is some water discoloration in the production well, adding they turned off the well, which will be flushed today. Clean, safe drinking water will be supplied from a water storage tank at the water treatment plant. The directive took effect immediately and will remain in place until the well has been flushed and water storage tank level returns.
Water conservation tips include taking short showers and avoiding baths, turning off taps when brushing teeth or washing dishes, only running dishwashers and washing machines with full loads, and avoiding non-essential outdoor water use.
