Public Works crews will be conducting water distribution system maintenance by flushing hydrants the nights of October 20 & 21, 2023. This is a semi-annual maintenance procedure.

Friday October 20   9:00PM to 6:00AM - New Town

Saturday, October 21   9:00PM to 6:00AM - Old Town

Please note:

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

Discoloured water: 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 dish washers 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.
