Mallaig sewer strain, June 21

The County Public Works Department is asking residents in Mallaig to reduce non-essential water use and ensure that sump pumps are not pumping into the sewer system at this time.

Due to the amount of rain received over the June 20-21 weekend, the sewer system in the Hamlet of Mallaig is currently overloaded. We are working to bring in a sewer truck to bring down the levels.

We thank residents for their patience and understanding at this time.
