WATER CONSERVATION CRITICAL - DARES LAKE DAM BREACH UPDATE 3
Response efforts resumed this morning at the Dares Lake dam following a pause overnight due to darkness and site safety considerations.
Water conservation remains critical. The breach has impacted critical water infrastructure, and all customers connected to the Town of Lunenburg municipal water system are asked to eliminate all non-essential water use.
Please use water only for essential needs such as drinking, cooking, sanitation, and hygiene.
Every litre conserved helps protect the community's available water supply while crews work to restore access to the site and assess critical infrastructure.
Residents are reminded to stay away from the Dares Lake area and allow emergency personnel and contractors to work safely.
As a precaution, the public school in Lunenburg is closed today. Local organizations are implementing contingency plans as appropriate.
There is currently no immediate risk to public safety.
Should municipal water service be temporarily disrupted, community support measures will be activated to assist customers connected to the Town of Lunenburg municipal water system.
