NOTICE OF WATER MAIN FLUSHING

The Water Utility will be conducting routine water main flushing throughout the Town of Mahone Bay as follows:

9:00 PM to 6:00 AM - Wednesday October 21st, 2020
&
9:00 PM to 6:00 AM - Thursday October 22nd, 2020

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 created during water main flushing.  Water main flushing is a semi-annual maintenance procedure used to clean our water mains.
