PUBLIC NOTICE: WATER UTILITY

Hydrant Flushing – Thursday, July 06

Public Works crews will be conducting water distribution system maintenance by flushing two hydrants on Thursday night. This is a semi-annual maintenance procedure.

Thursday, July 06 – 10:00PM – 11:00PM

Location – Knickle Road/Schwartz Street/Hall Street area

Water service will remain ON during the maintenance period, but pressure may be irregular or there may be intermittent service disruption.

The work may cause temporarily discoloured water due to sediment. The Lunenburg Water Utility recommends that customers avoid using the water for drinking/cooking purposes until the water is clear. The water remains safe for showering, bathing, cleaning and flushing toilets, although you may wish to avoid laundry and dishwashers at this time.

The Utility suggests homeowners shut off the water supply valve to hot water heaters to avoid sediment getting into the tank. In the morning run your cold water taps until the water is clear.

The Town of Lunenburg regrets any inconvenience created during hydrant flushing.

Please direct any questions or comments to the Public Works Department at 902-634-8992. Thank you.
