💧 Water Conservation Update 💧

We are pleased to report that water conservation efforts have been very helpful and overnight significant progress was made in restoring the Town’s water reserve.

The cooperation of Lunenburg’s residents and businesses has been crucial to this process. Thank you for your patience and understanding while crews worked to ensure the town’s water supply continued safely.

It will still take a little longer to get the pumps fully restored, but in the meantime, we are able to announce that effective immediately, all water restrictions have been lifted.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and commitment to conserving water over the past few days.

WATER CONSERVATION REMAINS IN PLACE - DARES LAKE DAM BREACH UPDATE 5

Water conservation measures remain in place as emergency response to a breach at the Dares Lake dam is still underway.

Water conservation efforts have produced results overnight, with low reservoir levels continuing to improve. Two of the three pumps remain functional but not at full capacity. The third pump is not operational and will be replaced as soon as possible.

Residents and businesses in the Town of Lunenburg are reminded that they are required to limit usage to essential purposes only, such as drinking, cooking, and sanitation, with the Town of Lunenburg’s water conservation directive still in effect. If water levels continue to stabilize, some restrictions may be able to be eased. Water levels will be reassessed this afternoon.

The dam remains stable with berms and trenches continuing to divert water from the pumphouse.

Residents are reminded to stay away from the Dares Lake area and allow emergency personnel, contractors, and heavy equipment operators to work safely.

Local fire services have transitioned to rural firefighting operations if required. Water tankers and mutual aid resources are available and will be utilized as needed.

There is currently no immediate risk to public safety. Should additional measures be required, they will be activated to assist customers.

Residents are encouraged to monitor official communication channels for updates and information as the situation evolves:
• Lunenburg County REMO Facebook
• Lunenburg County REMO and municipal websites and social media channels
• The REMO public information line at 902-530-7366 (REMO) for recorded updates when available.

Another update will be provided as information becomes available.
