Sawmill Creek Storm Sewer Replacement

As part of our ongoing commitment to communicating with customers and the local community, Halifax Water would like to inform you that we are beginning work on the Sawmill Creek Daylighting Project. This project is in partnership with the Halifax Regional Municipality.  

Beginning on September 3rd, 2024, the contractor, Dexter Construction will begin installation of the by-pass pipe needed for construction to begin within the creek. Following the installation of the by-pass infrastructure, the contractor will begin installing a series of box culverts, adjacent to the Dundas Street and Alderney Drive intersection.  

Once this portion of the project is complete, it will allow the realignment of the Dundas Street/Alderney Drive/Patuo’qn intersection to begin. In conjunction with the work outlined above, Dexter construction will begin utility adjustments, subgrade work and road reinstatement on Canal Street. Part 1 of this project is expected to be completed in July 2025. The second part of this project will begin in fall of 2025 

This work is part of the utility's 30-year, $4 billion investment commitment to improving aging water, wastewater and stormwater systems.   

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.
