Today, between 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Halifax Water crews will be undertaking water valve maintenance on Morris Street between South Park Street and Queen Street, Halifax. There will be stop-and-go traffic in this area.
Customers in the area may experience temporarily low water pressure or discoloured water during this work.
Customers who experience discoloured water should 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.
Experienced traffic control personnel are on-site to manage traffic flows. Motorists should expect delays and use alternate routes. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones.
We apologize for any inconvenience this necessary infrastructure improvement work may cause.
For the safety of work crews and residents, please observe social/physical distancing requirements (2 metres of separation).
