Voluntary Water Conservation Measures Requested for HRM
Due to the recent prolonged period of low precipitation, water levels within our supply areas have not been replenished. With no significant precipitation forecasted in the coming weeks, these levels will continue to lower.
To conserve water, Halifax Water is requesting that all customers and those who live or work within a building serviced by Halifax Water follow voluntary water conservation measures until further notice. By reducing our water usage, we can help ease the demand on our lakes/source water and reduce or delay the need for mandatory water conservation measures.
Halifax Water Watershed Lands Closed
Effective immediately, all Halifax Water watershed lands are closed to members of the public. This closure will be in place until further notice.
Halifax Water is taking steps to protect our water supplies and to comply with the provincial ban on all woodland activity. This is in an effort to reduce the potential for more wildfires in Nova Scotia.
These restrictions apply to Halifax Water property near watersheds and provincially or federally owned lands within protected water areas that Halifax Water manages.
This is consistent with the approach being taken by municipal and provincial authorities to reduce the risk of further forest fires in wooded areas.
