Effective immediately, mandatory water restrictions are lifted for all residents and businesses supplied by the Springhill Water System. Normal water usage may resume.
The Cumberland Water Utility has been closely monitoring water levels in Leamington Brook, which supplies the Springhill Water System. With recent rainfall the source water level has stabilized sufficiently to lift the mandatory water conservation measures that were implemented on Aug. 30, 2025.
Although mandatory restrictions are no longer in place, the Cumberland Water Utility encourages all water users to continue practicing responsible water use. Water conservation should be an ongoing habit in every household and business. Being mindful of how much water you use, repairing leaks promptly, and using water-efficient fixtures all help ensure the long-term sustainability of our community’s water supply.
Simple steps to continue conserving water include:
• Repair leaking plumbing fixtures as soon as they are noticed
• Turn off taps while brushing teeth or washing dishes
• Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes
• Install low-flow shower heads and appliances
The Cumberland Water Utility would like to sincerely thank residents, businesses, and institutions in Springhill for their cooperation throughout this period. Your efforts to conserve water helped maintain reliable service and protect the Leamington Brook watershed during an exceptionally dry season.
