As part of our ongoing commitment of communicating with customers and the local community, Halifax Water would like to inform you that we will be completing a watermain replacement on Quinpool Road.
This work is part of the utility's 30-year, $4 billion investment commitment to improving aging water, wastewater and stormwater systems.
Harbour Construction will be completing this project on behalf of Halifax Water. The safety of staff, contractors and the public is our top priority during this work.
To ensure the safety of our communities and our staff, please maintain a safe distance when Halifax Water staff or contractors are working in your area.
UPDATE:
The Quinpool Road water main replacement was originally scheduled to be completed at the end of October. However, the project is several weeks behind schedule because the design plan had to be realigned and then coordinated with the other utilities.
The new water main will be online early November and the pavement, curb and sidewalk reinstatement will continue throughout November. Weather permitting, the entire project is expected to be completed by mid-December.
