About Us

We are proud stewards of the water cycle

Halifax Water is a proud steward of the water cycle, providing clean water to customers, and safely conveying it back to the source.

For decades we have been focused on improving our operations so we can continue to manage our region’s water cycle in a financially and environmentally responsible manner. As a result of everyone’s hard work, we have grown into a world-class utility with an incredible story.

Halifax Water is a municipally-owned utility that operates on a cost of service basis.
