Update - Waverley Road Water Main Repair - Precautionary Boil Water Advisory in Effect for Customers Impacted Effective Immediately
Advisory impacts customers in the communities of Waverly Road, Spider Lake, Montague Road, Keystone Village, Port Wallace, Montebello, Craigwood Estates and Avenue du Portage.
Halifax Water is advising customers impacted by the Waverley Road Water Main Repair on December 6, 2025, to boil their drinking water effective immediately.
This impacts customers along Waverly Road, Spider Lake, Montague Road, Keystone Village, Port Wallace, Montebello, Craigwood Estates, and Avenue du Portage. (See map of the affected at bottom of page)
As water is restored to this area, and, if after 1:00 PM December 6, 2025;
- you had no water – boil before use
- you have/had discoloured - run clear before use
- you have/had normal or low pressure – no action required
- you are unsure – boil before use
If a customer determines that their property is within the impacted area Halifax Water is advising these customers that the water can still be used; however, it should be boiled for at least 1 minute before using water for:
- drinking
- preparing infant formula
- making ice cubes or juices
- washing fruits or vegetables
- cooking
- brushing teeth; or
- any other activity requiring human consumption.
This boil water notice will be in effect until further notice. A fact sheet on domestic water usage when a boil advisory is in effect can be found here: Boil Water Advisory Fact Sheet 2025.pdf
This boil water advisory is precautionary and based on the prolonged loss of pressure resulting from a watermain break. The Boil Water Advisory is issued as a result of permit requirements through Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change (NSECC).
Halifax Water continues to monitor the water quality and is closely consulting with NSECC and the Medical Officer of Health.
