Halifax Water’s General Rate Application Decision

Published: 12:41 PM | December 16, 2025
Updated: 3:37 PM | December 16, 2025

Today, the Nova Scotia Regulatory and Appeals Board (NSRAB) released its decision regarding Halifax Water’s General Rate Application, which was filed earlier this year. The NSRAB approved Halifax Water’s application but found that adjustments must be made to the revenue requirements, which will result in a reduction to the overall rate increases initially proposed. The updated adjustments are to be filed with the NSRAB by December 23, 2025.

Halifax Water’s request was driven by increased inflation, rising interest rates, depleted reserve funds, aging infrastructure and depreciation. This will be the first increase in Halifax Water rates since April 2023.
