HOPSON STREET WATER LEAK REPAIR - February 10
- Details
- Published: Tuesday, 10 February 2026 13:18
Public Works will be working on a water leak on Hopson Street this afternoon. Work will commence shortly and may last into the evening. The repair will cause a service interruption to Water Utility customers along Hopson Street between the corner of Creighton & Hopson and Oxner & Prince.
Road users travelling through that area of Lunenburg should use caution and follow signage.
It is recommended that residents in the affected area turn off hot water systems as this outage continues. Once the water service is returned, we suggest running a cold water faucet into your bathtub of sink in case of any air discoloration until it runs normally.
We apologise for any inconvenience due to the repair work.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - LUNENBURG'S WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT UPGRADES TO LUNENBURG'S WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT
The Town of Lunenburg is planning to perform equipment replacement at the Lunenburg Wastewater Treatment Plant that shall create periods of disruption to the Town’s wastewater treatment process.
These periods of disruption are tentatively scheduled for a 21-hour period from 8:00 AM to 5:00 AM during the week of March 2, a 21-hour period from 8:00 AM to 5:00 AM during the week of March 9, and a 6-hr period from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM during the week of March 30. These times could change depending on weather or other factors.
It is estimated that during these scheduled periods of disruption for the equipment replacement work, approximately 6,800 m3 of wastewater will be released into Lunenburg Front Harbour from three relief points located near 3 Brook Street, 34 Bluenose Drive, and 176 Bluenose Drive, in Lunenburg. These locations occasionally see overflows of wastewater during heavy rain events due to system design to relieve pressure from high volumes in the collection system due to wet weather.
This equipment replacement work at the Lunenburg Wastewater Treatment Plant is integral to the system’s operation and must be completed by redirecting wastewater flows. As a result, the Town of Lunenburg will schedule the periods of disruption to take place during expected times of no/low precipitation to reduce flows within the wastewater collection system. This will help minimize the impact on customers and the environment while ensuring customers continue to have wastewater service during this period.
To reduce pressure on the wastewater system and minimize environmental impact during these periods of disruption, we are asking Town of Lunenburg utility customers to reduce wastewater flows. Please minimize use of running water, flushing toilets or doing laundry during these times.
Further details shall be provided by the Town in due course to confirm the dates and times for the commencement of each of the periods of disruption to the wastewater treatment process.
