Update: Water service has been restored to customers on Cobequid Road between Glendale Avenue and Zinck Avenue and civics 220 and 232 Cobequid Road.
Some customers may experience temporarily discoloured water. Halifax Water recommends that customers experiencing discoloured water flush their cold water lines until the water is clear and avoid using the water for direct consumption purposes until the water is clear. The water remains safe for showering, bathing, cleaning and flushing toilets.
Attention motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, Halifax Water crews are on-site repairing a water main adjacent to 178 Cobequid Road near the Cobequid Community Health Centre.
Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction. Roads are icy in and around the work area. Customers in the Fall River, Miller Lake and Windsor Junction areas will be without service. There is no estimate of service restoration at this time.
Experienced traffic control personnel are on-site to ensure smooth traffic flow around the work zone. On-site personnel will also maintain communication with local residents and businesses to help minimize disruption. Motorists are asked to use alternate routes and expect delays. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones.
We apologize for any inconvenience this necessary infrastructure improvement work may cause.
