Due to an unplanned service interruption caused by construction activities there may be higher than normal chlorine levels present in the water distribution system near Princess Margaret Boulevard, in Dartmouth. Please see the attached map for the impacted area.
Customers in this area could temporarily experience higher levels of chlorine in their drinking water.
If customers get a strong odour of chlorine from tap water, they are advised to let their COLD water run for 2 minutes or until it is no longer noticeable. If the odour persists, please wait a few hours and try running only the cold water again. If you do notice this odour, we respectfully ask that you contact our Customer Care Centre at 902-420-9287.
Halifax Water is conducting sampling, and our operations team is currently flushing the system to address the issue.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
