During the week of October 16, the Village of New Minas will be conducting smoke testing of our sanitary collection system. The intention of this study is to identify sewer infrastructure leaks and cross-connections. The contractor (BioMaxx) will systematically go up and down the streets in the community pumping a special harmless, non-damaging smoke throughout the sewer system, finding and marking note of every cross connection and abnormality along the way. Smoke should not enter any houses unless there is a cross-connection. If this does occur, the smoke should dissipate within 30 seconds once a window or door is opened.
A video of the smoke testing process can also be found on BioMaxx’s website here: https://biomaxx.ca/what-we-do/smoke-testing/

The Village of New Minas would like to take the Canada Post strike as an opportunity to ask our water utility customers to switch their payment method to email. Firstly, this will ensure that you receive our January water bill. There are also long-term benefits to switching.
Please drop by our Village Office at the Louis Millet Community Complex, or phone 902-681-6972 to change your payment method. We would also appreciate it if you could spread the word by sharing this notification and talking about it with your friends and family in the Village of New Minas!
