Town of Truro – Public Notice | Voluntary Water Conservation Measures in Effect
Please be advised that as of Wednesday, September 17, 2025, the Town of Truro is implementing voluntary water conservation measures.
Recent dry weather conditions are impacting the local water source, and current water levels in the reservoir are approximately 3 metres lower than they were at this time last year. Based on previous years, water levels in the reservoir typically do not begin to recover until late November.
To help preserve the Town's water supply during this extended dry period, please use water wisely and reduce non-essential use whenever possible.
Here are some simple ways to help:
- Limit lawn and garden watering.
- Avoid car washing and pool filling
- Reduce outdoor water use.
- Fix leaks and use water-efficient appliances.
The Town will continue to monitor watershed conditions and reservoir levels and will share any updates or changes to these voluntary measures as needed.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
