Mandatory Water Conservation Measures in effect for customers serviced by Lake Major
Halifax Water is implementing mandatory Stage 1 water restrictions for the Lake Major effective immediately. This impacts water service for the communities of Dartmouth, Burnside, Cole Harbour, Westphal, North Preston and Eastern Passage (see map for affected service areas).
This is due to the ongoing dry conditions and lack of precipitation. As a result, Lake Major has moved to the warning phase, which triggers the need for these mandatory Stage 1 restrictions.
Customers may use this interactive map to determine if they are serviced by the Lake Major water supply.
Some Halifax Water Watershed Lands Remain Closed
In accordance with the changes to provincial woods restrictions announced on Friday, August 29, please be advised of the following updates regarding Halifax Water watershed lands:
- Halifax County: The travel ban for watershed lands surrounding Pockwock Lake located in Halifax County has been lifted. These lands are no longer subject to the provincial woods travel restrictions.
- Hants County: Watershed lands located in Hants County remain closed. This measure aligns with the current provincial ban and is in place to protect this highly vulnerable watershed area.
Members of the public are respectfully asked to do their part to protect these sensitive areas and respect all posted signage.
