Water & Sewer
Water
The Village of Chester does not have central water services, nor does the wider Municipality of the District of Chester. Residential and business properties are on private wells or cisterns.
Climate change is making a "new normal" in Nova Scotia around seasonal droughts, which in recent years have caused wells to run dry. Only you can take charge of water conservation on your property to safeguard your water supply.
Conservation tips to come.
Wastewater
The Municipality of the District of Chester provides central sewer services to the Village.
Damage to the sewer system can cost ratepayers for repairs and the environment when systems are down. You can help protect the system by learning what NOT to put down your toilet or storm drain.
