The Town of Antigonish may need to implement voluntary water conservation measures this week.
They are alerting residents that water has stopped spilling at the James River Dam and there is no significant rainfall in the forecast, which is why water conservation may be necessary.
Residents are asked to use their water wisely by limiting unnecessary activities such as filling pools, washing vehicles, and watering lawns as a precaution.
The Town will continue to monitor the water levels closely.
They say the need help to conserve the community’s water supply and small changes made by many households can have a meaningful impact.
