    Mayor Debbie White says it takes every resident doing their part to make this work.

    Hughes Brook is under a State of Emergency due to the “extremely low water levels in the dam and lack of rain. This will mean daily shutoffs in the north shore Bay of Islands community from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. until 6:30 a.m. Residents who do not conserve water could face a fine and should only be using water for drinking, cooking or hygiene. Don’t fill bathtubs or pools and buckets excessively, limit laundry to full loads and take shorter showers. Mayor Debbie White says it takes every resident doing their part to make this work.
