Halifax Water crews have completed the water main repair near the intersection of Cobequid Road and Glendale Avenue.
Customers in Lower Sackville, Waverley, Fall River and Windsor Junction areas may experience lower than normal water pressure for a few hours until the water distribution system refills completely, at which point, the water pressure should return to normal.
Some customers may experience discoloured water following the repair as the water distribution system returns to normal. 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.
We apologize for any inconvenience this continued necessary infrastructure work may have caused.
