UPDATE for water utility customers who receive water through the Town’s water system (areas adjacent to Town).
As of 12pm on Monday, July 28, 2025, the Town of Antigonish is implementing voluntary water conservation measures.
The continuing hot weather has impacted the water levels at the James River Dam, and there is no significant rainfall projected over the next two weeks. While these are voluntary measures, we strongly encourage all water customers to use water wisely where possible. This includes reducing non-essential water usage such as lawn watering, car washing, and filling pools.

Please be advised that as of July 16, 2025, the Town of Antigonish expects to enter voluntary water conservation measures starting this week due to decreased flow at the dam.
During voluntary water conservation measures it is requested that all water utility customers including residents in the County who receive water through the Town’s system.
Please conserve water where possible. Thank you for your cooperation!
