Heavy Rainfall Forecasted – Clearing Storm Drains, Catch Basins and Driveway Culverts

Published: 3:43 PM | March 31, 2025
Updated: 4:24 PM | March 31, 2025

Halifax Water is advising residents that the heavy rainfall forecasted for Monday evening and into Tuesday will create surface-level run-off. This increases the risk of localized flooding, especially if storm drains and catch basins are blocked with debris.  

To help avoid this, Halifax Water is encouraging residents to check their storm drains/catch basins to ensure they are clear. If you see they are blocked, we ask that customers clear them if they are able, and it is safe to do so.   

Customers with driveway culverts should ensure that nothing is blocking the flow of water.
