Water Conservation Notice – Longlac Ward

UPDATE August 7, 2026

Further to our previous notice regarding the water restrictions, we have now received additional information from the engineer.

Based on the information received, the current water restrictions will remain in place until the end of next week.

These restrictions remain important as they help reduce demand on the water system and ensure that adequate capacity and pressure are maintained while we continue to monitor the situation. Limiting non-essential water use also reduces unnecessary strain on the system and helps ensure that sufficient water remains available for essential needs and emergency purposes.

We ask that everyone continue to follow the restrictions and avoid non-essential water use until further notice.

We appreciate everyone’s continued cooperation and understanding. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide another update as additional information becomes available.

PREVIOUS MESSAGE:

The Municipality is asking residents and businesses in the Longlac Ward to voluntarily conserve water over the next two weeks while significant upgrades are completed at the Longlac Water Treatment Plant.

These important infrastructure improvements will help enhance the reliability, efficiency, and long-term sustainability of the community's drinking water system. During this period, reducing non-essential water use will help ensure adequate water supply and maintain system stability while work is underway.

Residents are encouraged to limit discretionary water use, including:

•         Watering lawns 
•          Washing vehicles, boats, and recreational equipment
•          Filling swimming pools and hot tubs
•          Pressure washing driveways, sidewalks, and buildings
•          Other non-essential outdoor water activities

Essential household water use, including drinking, cooking, bathing, and sanitation, can continue as normal.

The Municipality will continue to monitor water system operations closely and will provide updates as work progresses. Residents will be notified once the conservation request has been lifted.

For more information, please contact the Municipal Office at 807-854-1100 ext. 2029.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to supporting these important infrastructure improvements.
