Halifax Water’s wastewater treatment system has returned to normal operations. Essential maintenance work at facilities in Halifax and Dartmouth, previously announced in April has been successfully completed. All wastewater at these facilities is now fully treated and in compliance with regulatory requirements. The maintenance work at the Halifax treatment facility was completed on May 1 and on May 31 at the Dartmouth facility.
These upgrades are integral to the system’s operation, and Halifax Water appreciates the public's support in reducing their water consumption and minimizing recreational activities during the maintenance window.
We apologize for any inconvenience this wastewater system maintenance work may have caused.
Halifax Water will provide a final report to Environment and Climate Change Canada, and we anticipate sharing the sampling results on our website.
