Issues Resolved with the Canso/Hazel Hill Water System

Aug 7, 2026 | Local News

Officials with the Municipality of the District of Guysborough say issues with the Canso/Hazel Hill Water  system have been resolved.
Residents may resume regular water consumption, but users can expect to notice water discolouration.  Water lines will be flushed later today potentially resulting in low pressure.  There was a water main break on Thursday, which also resulted in the Water Treatment Plant going offline briefly.  The system was restored with a temporary fix at 9:30 Thursday night.
The water system serves residents of Canso, Hazel Hill, Durrell’s Island and  Tickle area.

Broadcast Dialogue has announced the winners of the inaugural Canadian Radio Awards, which we’ve dubbed “The Howards” after our publisher emeritus Howard Christensen.
