Story summary

A dam at Dares Lake in Lunenburg, N.S., breached on Wednesday around 1 p.m., causing water to overflow into the pump building and leaving the town's main water supply inoperable. The breach prompted the Town of Lunenburg to implement water conservation efforts, including closures for businesses such as High Liner Foods, restaurants, cafes, daycares, and other industries. Mayor Jamie Myra estimated that if the issue wasn't resolved within 12-24 hours, the town could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue over Labour Day weekend. However, by the following article, the Town of Lunenburg had lifted water conservation limits, citing significant progress made to restore its water reserve and the helpfulness of initial conservation efforts.
