The Water Utility will be conducting leak detection in the following area:
 
362-516 Main St., Edgewater St., Cherry Ln., Orchard St., Parish St., Aberdeen Ln.
10:30 PM to 6:00 AM – Thursday October 28th, 2021
 
What to expect:

• Reduced Water Pressure
• Discoloured Water
• Intermittent Service Disruption

 What to Do:

• We recommend closing the main shut-off valve and water supply valve to hot water heaters; this will help avoid having discoloured water enter the hot water heater and help avoid having heating elements burn out.

 

• Consider turning off booster pumps during flushing to avoid equipment damage.

 

• Check for discoloured water prior to doing laundry or running the dishwasher.  Suspended material causing the discolouration can permanently stain fabrics.  To check, run a cold-water faucet, if discoloured water is present, flush your system by continuing to run a cold-water faucet until the water runs clear.

 
The Town of Mahone Bay regrets any inconvenience.
Please direct any questions or comments to the Town Office:

There will be a Public Hearing on October 28, 2021 to receive comments from the Public regarding the Town of Mahone Bay's proposed By-law to Repeal the Dangerous and Unsightly Buildings By-law. The repeal of the by-law has been proposed due to a reference to a now defunct provincial legislation (the Town's Act) and the fact that the Municipal Government Act provides the same regulations as the existing Town of Mahone Bay Dangerous and Unsightly Buildings By-law, which makes the existing by-law redundant.

The Public Hearing will be held on October 28, 2021 at 6:30pm on the Town's YouTube channel. If you would like to make a submission to the Public Hearing, please contact Town staff by phoning (902)624-8327, or by emailing clerk@townofmahonebay.ca. A draft of the By-law to Repeal can be read on the Town's website, or at Town Hall.

The by-law will be considered for 2nd reading and adoption at a meeting of Town Council held on October 28, 2021 immediately following the Public Hearing. ​
