The Bulk water station is open for household necessities only – not recreational use.
The East Hants Aquatic Centre remains open and free potable water and showers are still available during operational hours.
The rain expected in the forecast is not anticipated to be enough to change conditions this week.
“We are still encouraging residents in all other East Hants communities and rural areas to conserve water wherever possible,” said Municipal spokesperson Juliann Cashen. “Your cooperation helps protect our water supply for everyone.”
