Halifax Water is planning to perform wastewater system maintenance work at the Halifax wastewater treatment facility located at 2180 Barrington Street, Halifax. This work is tentatively scheduled for a 28-day period between March 24 and May 31, 2025, but it is subject to change depending on the weather. Halifax Water will provide the exact dates this maintenance will take place in advance of the start date. 
 
During this scheduled work, it is estimated that approximately 3,016,000 m3 of screened wastewater will be released into the Harbour from 14 relief points between the Fairview and Downtown Halifax. These locations are designed to occasionally alleviate pressure from high volumes in the collection system due to wet weather.
