Water System Upgrade 2022

5/13/2022

 
Work will soon begin on upgrading water lines to and from the water treatment plant on Zwicker Lane. The Town is very pleased that this important upgrade to our 1940s era lines is poised to begin. 

Work is anticipated to begin during the week of May 16th and to continue through the end of June. 
Picture
What to Expect
  • Water Disruption - during the week of May 23rd (not Victoria Day), overnight water disruption is anticipated. We anticipate that this will be only one night, but we will prepare for a second night in case it is necessary. It is important that residents do not use water during this time. The specific date of the water disruption(s) will be set by the progress of the work and will be shared via the Town's website, social media, and CodeRED notification. 
  • Traffic Disruption - during the month of June we anticipate traffic disruptions on Main Street in the vicinity of the new nursing home build. Traffic will at times be reduced to one lane and traffic safety personnel will be on site to provide support.
Stay Informed!
We will share updates about this project, including any important dates, through the monthly newsletter, out website, our facebook page, and CodeRED, the Town's mass notification system. If you have questions please contact us directly at 902-624-8327 or inquiries@townofmahonebay.ca for accurate information.

Judicial Review

5/2/2022

 
In response to a legal proceeding in the NS Supreme Court brought by some nearby landowners, the Town is defending the decision of the Development Officer to issue a development permit for the solar garden project. Council remains fully supportive of this project. In the opinion of the Town’s planning and development professionals and lawyers, the proceeding is based on a misreading of the Town’s planning documents. The Town nevertheless respects the right of those opposed to the project - or to its location next to our wastewater treatment lagoons - to seek judicial review of the development permitting. Our legal counsel has written to their lawyer to express the Town’s full co-operation in getting to a prompt Court hearing. As the judicial review is a matter before the courts, the Town will not be responding to comments or questions on this matter.
