Due to the particularly hot and dry weather, the water levels at in the Town's watershed have decreased significantly. While currently we are not enforcing mandatory water conservation, if we don't see significant and prolonged rainfall in the near future, we may have to take more extreme measures.
For now, everyone can do their part to conserve water. Here are some activities to avoid:
- watering lawns
- washing vehicles
- long showers
- small loads of laundry or dishes
While we understand that lots of MB residents have friends and/or family living nearby with wells at risk of going dry, it is important that we conserve our community's water supply. Residents of the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg and the Municipality of the District of Chester can contact their municipal office to learn about supports being offered for people experiencing dry wells.
Let's all do our part!
