Pugwash Water System Update - May 8, 2019
In our last update we advised that during the commissioning process operators had become concerned with the reliability of the chlorine injection system and that a replacement chlorine skid was ordered, under warranty, by the supplier. This equipment has arrived, is installed and has been commissioned.
You may have noticed municipal employees around the village in the last few days as flushing the lines of the water system has been taking place. Due to the flushing, you may notice water on your lawns, driveways, etc. The flushing is one of the last steps prior to taking the water system LIVE!
The next update you receive will contain information and instructions regarding connecting to the water system!
Our staff and contractors want to thank all the residents for their patience as they worked toward the completion of providing safe, potable water to the residents of Pugwash and surrounding areas.
