Notice of Leak Detection

NOTICE OF LEAK DETECTION
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 Thursday, November 4, 2021 to 6:00 AM – Friday, November 5, 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.
