The Municipality has made the difficult decision to decommission the Lower Truro Spring due to health, safety, and liability concerns. While traffic issues and occasional altercations at the site have been factors, the primary issue is that the Municipality does not own the land where the water originates and therefore has limited ability to ensure its ongoing safety. Since both the fill site and water source are leased—and these agreements are set to expire—closure has been determined to be the most responsible course of action.
Work to dismantle the site will begin soon. The public will receive at least two weeks’ notice before the official closure. We understand this may be disappointing for those who use the spring, and we appreciate your understanding as we prioritize community safety and responsibility.
