Water Restored and Conservation Lifted

Press Release from the Village Commission of Baddeck 

Saturday, November 2, 2019 Baddeck Conserve Water Order is lifted.

Baddeck residents are being told they no longer have to conserve water. However, the boil water order (to a rolling boil for two minutes) is still in effect until further notice. Another update will be issued on Monday. 

To ensure safety, water testing will continue throughout the weekend, says Village of Baddeck Chief Administration Officer Megan Cooper. “At this point, citizens should know the village is working on the issue throughout weekend,” says Cooper. “We are being vigilant by monitoring on both Saturday and Sunday.” 

After serving 700 4-litre jugs to residents, the Baddeck Fire Hall Community comfort centre is now closed. Residents are being asked to boil their water, as a precaution, until testing is completed. The Nova Scotia Department of Environment will give their approval to drop the boil water order.
