Stormwater Services
Stormwater is the water from rain, melted snow and ice, that runs off roofs, parking lots, driveways, and other hard surfaces. Halifax Water provides stormwater services to thousands of customers throughout Halifax Regional Municipality. For some, this means ditches and culverts. For others, it means storm drains in the street (catchbasins) and underground pipes.
Fire Hydrants & Catchbasins
Find a catchbasin or fire hydrant near you. Halifax Water maintains approximately 8,404 public hydrants and 24,398 public catchbasins throughout the Halifax region. In an effort to better care for this critical infrastructure, Halifax Water has created a map marking the locations of hydrants.
Bulk Water Service
Bulk filling stations allow bulk water haulers to get potable water from the distribution system year round, 24 hours per day.

Source Water Protection Areas
Source water refers to the lakes, rivers, streams and groundwater where our drinking water comes from. Help us protect these areas by keeping them clean and untouched by avoiding these areas as much as possible.
