The Municipality of Pictou County is conducting a water sampling program for lead and copper as per the environmental approval for its water distribution system. The samples identify potential corrosion-causing parameters. The MOPC’s water utility doesn’t contain lead but lead and copper corrosion can potentially occur in older plumbing systems with galvanized iron, copper or brass pipes and fittings. More information can be found here.
MOPC Landfill vouchers are available to eligible rural Pictou County residents beginning today. They can be picked up at our administration building or mailed out to you by calling 902-485-4311. They are available until Nov. 30.
