Town of Antigonish Responds to Transmission Water Main Break

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Antigonish, N.S. - Yesterday, the Town of Antigonish responded to a major water main break that affected our municipal water system. At around 11:30 a.m., a contractor working in the Gravel Pit Road area accidentally damaged the main water line that carries water from the James River Dam to the Town’s water treatment plant. This line is a key part of our system, and the damage resulted in an immediate stop to the flow of water to the Town’s water treatment plant. As a result, the treatment plant had to be temporarily shut down.
