A lot of progress has been made since this time yesterday, but we still have some work ahead. With the breach secured, work is now focused on getting all three pumps in the pumping station fully operational. Presently, two pumps are working at less than full capacity, while the third pump is still offline.

While the past couple of days have been a challenge, Lunenburg’s residents and businesses have been incredibly cooperative during this process. Thank you for your patience and understanding while crews worked to ensure the town’s water supply continued safely.

It will still take a little longer to get to a point where the Water Conservation Directive can be fully lifted, but work is definitely headed in the right direction. As such, we can announce that water conservation measures will be eased as of 6pm this evening.

Please note though, it is still important to exercise a level of conservation as outline in the updated directive to ensure this easing of measures doesn’t jeopardize the Utility's ability to provide reliable continuous water service to its customers.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and continued commitment to conserving water. Every drop makes a difference. 💧
