UPDATE:
Herring Cove Road – Water Service Restored
(Thursday, December 17, 2020) Water service has been restored to affected customers on Princeton Avenue near the intersection of Herring Cove Road in Spryfield.
Some customers in the area may experience temporarily discoloured water. If discolouration occurs, run the COLD water at one faucet for about 10 minutes. You should see the water clear. Do not use the hot water faucet since this will draw discoloured water into your hot water heater/tank, which could make the problem worse. If the water fails to clear after 10 minutes, wait for a few hours and again try running only the cold water. To learn more about discoloured water, visit www.halifaxwater.ca/discoloured-water.
We apologize for any inconvenience this necessary infrastructure improvement work may cause.
Halifax Water crews are on-site repairing a water main near the intersection of Herring Cove Road and Princeton Avenue in Spryfield.
Princeton Avenue is closed to all but local traffic during this repair work. Traffic flow on Herring Cove Road is not affected. There is no estimate of water 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.
For the safety of work crews and residents, please maintain social/physical distancing requirements of at least 2 metres/6 feet.
