Some customers in the Fairview, Armdale, Northend and Westend Halifax areas are experiencing discoloured water as a result of a water main break. Crews are actively working to isolate the leak. It is anticipated the discoloured water will continue until the water main is repaired, likely late this evening or in the overnight hours.
Halifax Water recommends that customers experiencing discoloured water avoid using the water for direct consumption purposes until the water is clear. The water remains safe for showering, bathing, cleaning and flushing toilets.
We apologize for any inconvenience customers are experiencing.
