This weekend (September 4-5), Halifax Water staff will be working to bring the water distribution system back to normal operation following the changes made to maintain water service during the recent water main break on Quinpool Road.
This work may result in some limited water discolouration in some parts of the peninsula.
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.
For the safety of work crews and residents, please observe social/physical distancing requirements (2 metres of separation).
