Thanks to the much needed rain, water levels in South Western Nova Scotia are finally starting to rise.
In Shelburne County, the Roseway River and Rodney Lake levels are up.
Mike Shand, the co-ordinator of EMO in Eastern Shelburne County says people are beginning to see their
wells come up.
He says it’s been a tough couple of months but people rallied together.
“All the residents have done a great job at water conservation. There’s been a lot of people helping their friends and family
and neighbours and to help seniors who may not be able to carry water.”
Shand says while the drought was a historical event, all EMO’s and the province worked together to respond.
“We were pretty well prepared between our local EMO, EMO’s in other counties and the province. I think we’ve done a really good job with water delivery to the residents.”
Shand says this was a good introduction of what to expect if this type of dry-spell were to occur again.
