Mandatory Water Conservation Measures in effect for customers serviced by Lake Major

Halifax Water is implementing mandatory Stage 1 water restrictions for the Lake Major effective immediately. This impacts water service for the communities of Dartmouth, Burnside, Cole Harbour, Westphal, North Preston and Eastern Passage (see map for affected service areas).  
 
This is due to the ongoing dry conditions and lack of precipitation. As a result, Lake Major has moved to the warning phase, which triggers the need for these mandatory Stage 1 restrictions.  
 
Customers may use this interactive map to determine if they are serviced by the Lake Major water supply.
