Update: Water service has been restored to customers on Monarch Drive and the Basinview Drive area.
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 on Monarch Drive in Bedford.
There is currently no estimate of water service restoration. There is stop and go traffic in the work zone.
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.
