The Water Meter Project reached a significant milestone last week, breaking through 1,000 units installed/replaced! Thank you to everyone who has cooperated and proceeded with having a new water meter installed at their property to date.

A reminder to the 250 or so properties yet to proceed with the water meter installation that this is a mandatory program for all Water Utility customers. It is important that you book your appointments with Neptune Technology in the near future to meet the early May deadline for completion.

If you require details on how to do so, please contact the Water Utility at 902 634 4410 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Please Note: Not having the water meter installed may result in your service being suspended by the Water Utility, so we strongly encourage those with outstanding installs to make your appointment.
