Message from Public Works:

Public Works will be repairing a small water leak between civic addresses 5208 Main Street and 5216 Main Street. Work will tentatively take place on Wednesday, September 03, 2025, at 8:00 AM.

Traffic control will be on-site, Nova Scotia Power will also be on-site. We have a few parking restrictions and sidewalk closures that will be in place during this time:

All the parking places between 5208 Main Street and 5220 Main Street will be closed during this time and the sidewalk will also be closed in this area.

We are going to try and repair the leak without shutting the water off, but if water services need to be shut off, the following list should expect water service interruptions:

Main Street from Hanlon Street to Water Street

Water Street

James Street

Waverly Street

Prince William Street

Ellis Street

Sandy’s Lane

Jackson Street

Rideau Street

And surrounding areas

Businesses in these areas should also expect water service interruptions

Hydrants in the downtown core will also be out of service until repairs are made.
