The Water Utility will be conducting a Fire System Test on Thursday November 27th Starting at 9pm until 10pm.
What to expect:
* Reduced Water Pressure
* Discoloured Water
* Intermittent Service Disruption
What to Do:
* We recommend closing the main shut-off valve to your property and water supply valve to hot water heaters; this will help avoid having discoloured water enter the home and hot water heater.
* Consider turning off booster pumps during this time to avoid equipment damage.
* Check for discoloured water prior to doing laundry or running the dishwasher. Suspended material causing the discolouration can permanently stain fabrics. To check, run a cold-water faucet, if discoloured water is present, flush your system by continuing to run a cold-water faucet until the water runs clear.
The Town of Mahone Bay regrets any inconvenience created during this testing. Please direct any questions or comments to the Town Office: 902-624-8327.
