Halifax Water will continue working closely with the city and the province throughout the extreme rain event forecast for this weekend.
Teams have been preparing for the storm, inspecting stormwater infrastructure to ensure it is operating at full capacity and mitigating areas of risk. This includes ensuring that equipment and supplies are readily available so crews can respond to storm-related issues.
To help customers and property owners prepare for extreme rain/weather events, Halifax Water has developed some helpful information:
- Fact Sheet - Being Prepared - Protecting Your Property During Extreme Rain Events
